OVER 50 young musicians attended a Spring workshop at the weekend.
Grimethorpe Youth Band Spring Workshop at Barnsley Civic on Saturday.
A band spokesperson said: “It was an inspiring day filled with music and fun for young players of all levels of experience, getting the chance to play alongside members of Grimethorpe Colliery Band and finishing with a short concert for parents.
“The players tackled some challenging repertoire including Felicitous by Fredrick Schjelderup, as well as a virtuosic rendition of Carnival of Venice featuring the band's Principal Euphonium player, Mark Glover.
Grimethorpe's Musical Director, Ben Dixon said, “Education is an integral part of what we do as a band and these workshop days are vital in inspiring the next generation of players. It’s fantastic to see young players pushing themselves with more challenging music and we look forward to welcoming them back in the summer.”
The date of the next workshop will be announced shortly.
