Swiss horn

Cory’s star horn player Owen Farr will also be on tour for York in Switzerland from June 21st to June 27th. Regarded as one of the finest horn soloists in the world Owen performs exclusively on York’s Preference tenor horn and will be giving master classes and concerts with various bands throughout Switzerland.

Masterclasses

His masterclasses will give delegates the opportunity to learn about a variety of playing techniques and witness Owen’s astonishing technique and musicianship. Concert venues include Falera, Untervaz and Rappersweil where Owen will work together with fellow York artist and euphoniumist Roland Froescher.

York delight
