This day will consist of workshops, talks, and one-to-one surgeries led by leading composers Benedict Mason and Errollyn Wallen.

The day is suitable for all composers of all ages and stages of their careers. You can also attend if you\u2019re not a composer but interested in hearing about composing in these two areas and attending the lunchtime-concert and masterclass with internationally renowned bassoonist Pascal Gallois.
