Superb opportunity

Not one, but all three Army Brass Bands will be rehearsing and performing throughout the day and they will be joined by some of the world's best brass band performers."

Works to be looked at will include, 'Paganini Variations', 'Lohengrin', 'Procession to the Minster' and 'Torchbearer'.
