Composition Workshops

“I cannot thank you enough. Firstly, for being such inspiring and
talented trumpeters. Secondly, for perfoming what must have been the
hardest imaginable trumpet programme with such style and skill.
Thirdly, for bringing my piece to life with such flare and aplomb. And
finally for being such fun to work with!

You are real stars, and last night’s performance was testament to your
artistry.”

Paul max Edlin, Composition tutor at Canterbury Christ Church University College following the premiere of Edlin’s ‘The First Four Trumpets’ at the Purcell Room.
