TUBA VACANCY! We're looking for a tuba player for our course in Manchester this Sunday 11 May. We'll be working on Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, alongside a movement from Edward Longstaff's composition of the same name, conducted by the Hallé's Stephen Bell.

Our April course last weekend was only the 10th time *EVER* that Leokadiya Kashperova's gem of a Symphony in B minor (1905) has been played. Brilliant to have had conductor Tess Jackson guide us through it, and a privilege to have had Dr Graham Griffiths, who rediscovered the piece, in attendance.
