Farr to feature at Higham Hall

Besson Artist Owen Farr will be a featured guest tutor later this year at the 2021 Higham Hall 'Brass Band Weekend'. Owen will be joined by Andy Kershaw (tuba) and Martyn Grisdale (cornet) for the weekend, taking place from Friday 29th October to Sunday 31st October. The event is for brass band players to rehearse and perform popular and perhaps lesser-known, brass band repertoire. Places are limited and there is a Higham Assisted Place and a Friends of Higham Bursary scheme to help with costs if appropriate. All prospective players must contact course leader Martyn on 07970036592 or martyn@onlinetrumpetteacher.com before enrolling to ascertain level, instrument(s) and suitability. Higham is on the northern edge of the Lake District, between Cockermouth and Keswick and only a mile from Bassenthwaite Lake.

Residential: £242 Non-residential: £172
