A spokesperson told 4BR: "This event is free of charge to young brass players aged 11 and above. Participants will sit side-by-side with professionals and conservatoire students in activities tailored to their instrumental specialism and experience."

Participants will be take part in ensemble performance as well as hearing others perform.
