Alicja last visited us for an illustrated talk by Alex Karpeyev when she played Prokofiev and Deshevov.

She brings an ensemble of friends who she […]
Annemarie was recruited by two orchestras to the position of Principal horn, one of them the London Philharmonic, at age 20.

Patrick returns to us, last year he proved to be one of the best speakers about his music, explaining the pieces with great clarity. Patrick proposes a concert of mainly French music to include Ravel and lesser-known composers whose work connects with Ravel. Expect to come across a couple of names you will not have […]
Sophia Rahman returns to Rhyl to teach several young musicians. Our Young Musicians are usually at Grade 8, but may have taken their diploma. On Tuesday we will have several sessions through the afternoon with an emphasis more on the music and performance than technical teaching of an instrument. Wednesday afternoon is for rehearsal leading […]
Chethams School in Manchester is the largest specialist music school in the UK and many of our professional musicians come from this famous Manchester institution. Music schools and colleges run courses in many musical genres and this includes areas with jazz influence. Expect a band of thirty musicians, playing brass, bass, percussion and perhaps piano. […]
