  Enjoying an extended visit — Joseph Cook returns to the UK.

Geneva Instruments tuba artist, Joseph Cook is currently enjoying himself as a tutor and featured soloist on the Bolsover Summer School.

Joseph has flown in from his home on Norway to lead masterclasses, recitals and tutor workshops as well as perform works by Philip Wilby, Dan Price and Oystein Baadsvik.

Extended visit

It's going to be an extended visit too, as following his Bolsover week he will head to Wales where he will be one of the leading tutors on the International Brass Band Summer School in Swansea where he will link up with his former Director of Music at Black Dyke, Prof Nicholas Childs.
