Brass & Percussion Workshops with the Best of Brass Quintet!
About this event
With the support of the Regional Arts Development Fund, and together with the Best of Brass quintet, Kirwan State High School and Brisbane Brass Specialists, Townsville Brass will be holding a Brass Band Festival. We expect to offer 3 or 4 different levels of workshops to cater for the Brass and Percussion players of North Queensland. Whether you started playing this year (and have a range of at least 6 notes) or have been playing for many years, there is a spot for you.
This is a fantastic opportunity to play together in a non-competitive environment and to be mentored by the members of the Best of Brass quintet.
A variety of workshops will be held at KIRWAN STATE HIGH SCHOOL Campus on Saturday and Sunday morning. On Sunday afternoon, workshop participants will perform in an open-air concert at the Anzac Park Band Rotunda, located on the Strand. This concert will be open to the public.
Private lessons are also available and can be booked here: https://forms.office.com/r/vCJjEc3mqt
