We have a brilliant package of goodies on offer for the person who can come up with the correct answer to our April brain teaser.

If you get the right answer we have a wonderful prize of some of the latest releases from our friends at Prima Vista Musikk.

It’s a prize package worth over £150!

Great music

So if you want your band to get to grips with some great concert works then get the answer right, and your band could be taking to the Summer concerts stages with Dr Robert Childs’s rousing arrangement of ‘Ruslan & Ludmilla’, Gareth Wood’s brilliant four movement suite, ‘Brass Triumphant’, the cracking soprano solo ‘Vengeance’ by Cai Isfryn and the quirky ‘A Slow Ride in a Static Machine’ by Phil Lawrence.

A great prize — and all pieces to test, challenge and enjoy for your band.
