Downshire Brass is delighted to be hosting a three-day summer scheme for young brass and percussion players. The course will take place at the band’s new rehearsal space at Belvoir BB Pavilion from the 3rd - 5th of August.

Downshire’s Musical Director, Professor Michael Alcorn, said “we are delighted to be offering this new programme. It’s been such a challenge for all our brass players and percussionists over the last 18 months and we hope this event, which is open to all young brass band musicians, will help them get prepared for a new academic year of music-making.”

Downshire Brass Youth Summer Course will be directed by Professor Alcorn alongside experienced music tutors and teachers who are part of Downshire Brass.
