The University of Salford is pleased to announce two new appointments to its brass faculty.

New appointments

Les Storey will tutor the growing number of bass trombone players within the school, whilst Richard Marshall (above) will work alongside Mark Wilkinson and Brian Taylor to tutor cornets and trumpets.

Thrilled

Performance Fellow Brett Baker told 4BR: “I’m thrilled about these appointments which will further enhance an already impressive team of internationally recognised tutors.

Richard Marshall and Les Neish for instance will both feature in recitals in workshops for 2014, whilst Sheona White will solo with the University Brass Band later this month."

Graduates

He added: "We continue to produce players of the calibre of recent graduates such as Iain Culross at Leyland and Mike Eccles at Faireys as well as Ben Dixon, Ben Richeton now both at Black Dyke.

I am also pleased that some postgraduate students at Salford will feature as soloists in the 2014 concert series with the Adelphi Brass Band."
