The young musicians of the Cornwall Youth Brass Band will be spending four days over the Easter weekend rehearsing and studying under the baton of Guest Conductor Paul Holland, MD of the Flowers Band.

Soprano star

Paul will also be joined by Flowers' star soprano player Paul Richards, who will appear as the featured guest soloist (above).

Open Day

The band will also be repeating its successful 'Open Rehearsal & Audition Afternoon' on Saturday 15th April from 1.30pm to 4.30pm at Truro High School for Girls.

This gives young musicians interested in joining an opportunity to observe them in action and talk to the local team of conductors and tutors.

The band will give their end of course Gala Concert at St Michael's Church Newquay, at 7.00pm on Monday 17th April.
