Important information:

Players need to be approximately grade three standard minimum to join the workshop.
Players must be 18 and under and in full time education
We are welcoming all players of orchestral wind instruments as well as saxophone players. We are hoping for applications from a good balance of instruments but may limit applications from particular instruments if we are over subscribed.
There will be opportunities for a couple of players to take part in a friendly mini masterclass for soloists. There is no obligation to do this, but please let us know on the application form if you would like to be considered.
The leaders will send out music in advance to all participants so it would be helpful to have all applications by 5 May. If you have missed this deadline please e-mail Anna to check if spaces are still available as we may well be able to fit you in.
The afternoon is free to all participants thanks to a generous legacy from Catherine Scott, WYO’s much-loved wind tutor and a grant from the Kendal Midday Concert Club.
Please apply for your place using our online form.
