An opportunity has arisen for young musicians to take part in the Duet Philharmonic Orchestra concert at the Royal Festival Hall on Monday April 8^th 2019.

Participants need to be available for the residential course from 3^rd to 7^th April 2019 at Wellington College, and the concert day itself on Monday 8^th April 2019 at the Royal Festival Hall.  Although not essential, ideally participants would also be available for a play through on Friday 22^nd February 2019 at Kings Place, London.

The course fee includes accommodation, catering and refreshments, master-class tutoring, transport and entertainment etc. We are urgently looking to recruit two Harpist, three Horn players, two Trumpet players and four Percussionists.  We are also a little light in all string sections so would welcome interest from Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass Players.  Ideally all applicants would be of at least grade 8 standards or working towards grade 8.

Anyone wishing to take part should contact karl.stevenson@duetgroup.co.uk, as soon as possible. Full brochure can be found HERE.
