The Bolsover International Brass Band Summer School has released a fantastic introductory video to shine a light on what delegates from all corners of the globe will have in store to enjoy during their trip between the 22nd — 27th July, based at the Heritage High School in Clowne, Derbyshire.

There are contributions from the tutors Paul Bennett, Shaun Crowther, Steve Jones, Rebecca Lundberg, Mark Wilkinson and Musical Director Steven Mead.

Open

Once again the course is open to non-participating guests and non-residential participants, with delegates having the option of arranged hotel accommodation or making their own arrangements.

Music chosen this year encompasses the varying standards of the delegates and will include a recent commission from the pen of Paul Lovatt-Cooper entitled 'The Forces Unleashed' written for Market Rasen Band and being premiered by Black Dyke at Lincoln Cathedral in April.
