4BR Editor Iwan Fox talks to Belgian cornet star Harmen Vanhoorne as he prepares for his RNCM Festival of Brass performance of Nigel Clarke's Cornet Concerto — 'Mysteries of the Horizon', with Tredegar Town Band this weekend.

Harmen talks about the piece and the collaboration with the composer, as well as his ongoing involvement with Exit Brass, who will also be performing at the RNCM this weekend.

All this and he even has time to enjoy a snowball fight in the wintery Welsh weather with a few Tredegar players.
