Music For Wind Dectet

Presenter: Pete Harrison with The Royal Academy of Music Junior Dept.

Session Abstract

Harrison and students from The Royal Academy of Music

From the WASBE2007.com web site:

We will play in an open rehearsal session where we rehearse and discuss various pieces we would work on in a normal day at the Academy, talk a bit about what we do every Saturday in the Junior Department that gets our students out of bed before the sun is up for 33 weeks of the year! This would be followed up by a concert performance where we would perform the pieces worked on in the rehearsal. We will be leaning gently towards the works of British composers that are maybe not so well known.
