The National Association of Brass Band Conductors has confirmed details of its forthcoming masterclass event in West Yorkshire on Sunday 7th July.

Respected leads

To be held at Bertie's Banqueting Rooms in Elland, it will be led by Richard Evans, supported by highly respected trumpeter Murray Greig, Mike Kilroy and Mareika Gray, Musical Director of 2013 Grand Shield winners Milnrow.

Excellent

NABBC Chairman Andrew White told 4BR: "Responses from players to perform with Milnrow at the event, and from existing and new conductors to direct the massed band has been excellent so far.

It’s expected that the confirmation of respected conductors will further popularise the event, extend networking and make the seminars even more enjoyable.

The conductors will also be supported by numerous experienced directors and adjudicators from the NABBC who will be on hand to offer advice and assistance."

Opportunities

Registration is at 9.30am and participants will need to note that the entire day will be based on practical interactions and experiences, including an opportunity to learn and perform a new item by composer Paul Lovatt-Copper.

The event will conclude at 4.00pm.

It’s expected that the confirmation of respected conductors will further popularise the event, extend networking and make the seminars even more enjoyableNABBC Chairman, Andrew White
