Christopher yesterday joined horn star Owen Farr at Birmingham Conservatoire on the first Tenor & Flugel Horn Seminar which Owen led. Over 120 delegates had signed up to come along for what was an inspirational day of teaching, performing and educating.
Owen commented, "It’s been an amazing response. It goes to show that there has been a real need for something like this to take place for some time."
Although Owen led the way with a series of recitals and workshops, Christopher joined composers Lucy Pankhurst and David Harrington in the explanation and performance of some of the newest works in the repertoire, including both Lucy and David's concertos, alongside Christopher's 'Proficiency' - published under Owen Farr's solo series with Prima Vista Musikk.
Some of the country’s most talented students and recent graduates were also involved, with performances from the likes of Lowena Taylor, Ailsa Russell, Mike Franey, Lara Jones and Hannah Drage.
