With ensemble, chamber, masterclasses, Q and A sessions, featuring international artists: Asya Feteyeva, Helana Kay, Janet Hilton, Robert Finegan, Richard Ingham, James Rae, Mark O'Brien and The British Clarinet Ensemble.

Join us for a day of joyful music-making, featuring a mixed single reed ensemble session led by the one and only James Rae, saxophone and clarinet ensemble sessions, jazz improvisation and a whole lot more.

This event is perfect for musicians of all levels. Connect with fellow enthusiasts, learn from experienced professionals, and immerse yourself in the world of single reeds. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and passion for music!

Throughout the day there will be music played during break and lunch time slots, all adding to a nice vibe for the occasion.

There will also be a great selection of trade stands * to visit. Buy some new sheet music, try out the latest mouthpiece or have a play of an instrument you would love to buy.

Local repairer Dot Brodie will be in attendance too, so any problems, pop along and see her. She's a wiz!

The day will also include demonstrations from various sponsors including D'Addario, Backun and Selmer.

Look forward to seeing you! :)
