The day featured around 30 saxophonists, from soprano to baritone, all of different ages and abilities, coming together as a large ensemble and breaking out into smaller groups to develop their playing and performance technique with a range of pieces of different styles and genres. We were delighted that places were offered to a number of our saxophone students at the College. Speaking after the event, Chris Tratt, Band Director of the college said , “A wonderful day of collaboration with expert tuition and a great achievement by our students.”
