After the success of their 2012 Brass Band Workshop, John Packer Ltd has announced another special event targeted at brass musicians this Spring.

Delighted

We're delighted to welcome back (rtrd) Lieutenant Colonel Dr Chris Davis (OBE) who led our Symphonic Wind Day in 2012.

After 34 years of service Chris retired from the Royal Marines in May 2009 and now pursues a busy career as a freelance conductor and adjudicator. He is rightly regarded as one of the leading teachers and tutors of his generation and his experience is invaluable to any performer.
