Such has been the success of the recent International Brass Band Summer School held in Swansea under Prof Nicholas Childs, that they have already been inundated with delegates placing their deposits to secure their place on the 2019 course.

2019 course

The 29th course will run from Sunday 28th July to Saturday 3rd August and will once again be led by the Black Dyke Director of Music alongside a world class line-up of tutors.

Prof Childs 4BR: "It's incredible that almost as soon as the last note was played in the gala concert we were already ensuring that we booked players and their families in for next year.

We are always looking to add to what we can offer and I can assure delegates from all around the world that we will once again provide them with a wonderful atmosphere allied to great music making."

We are already formulating new ideas, so all people have to do is to place a £20.00 deposit to ensure they will once again enjoy a great week in SwanseaProf Nicholas Childs
