Trombone superstar Christian Lindberg is giving a masterclass at the Royal Northern College of Music later today (Friday 2nd March)

Not to be missed

Adrian Morris, Senior Tutor in trombone at the RNCM told 4BR: "He is a living legend, so its an opportunity not to be missed."

The public masterclass with trombone students starts at the RNCM at 7.30pm and should provide everyone with some brilliant teaching tips, whilst a quartet featuring Paul Exton-McGuinness, Wizz Bateman, Jonathan Brierley and Dan Mitchell will also perform.

This is a global phenomenon in action and promises to be a fantastic eveningAdrian Morris

Fantastic

Adrian added: "This is a global phenomenon in action and promises to be a fantastic evening. Even if you're not a trombonist, there will get plenty of brass playing tips on offer!"
