Fanfare Participate Introductions
On July 16 we held our first Fanfare workshop where each participant presented an introduction on themselves, their interests and inspirations and they each discussed their compositions with our mentor composer Nicholas Vines. This was a great opportunity for the group to meet each other and to start fine tuning their compositions ready for the AYO recording day in September. You can meet the composers by visiting the website. There are also photos from the workshop.
