Adult Players Workshop

Following on from the success of last year’s workshop, we’re delighted to be hosting an Adult Players' Workshop at our Competitions 2025 in February.

This will be a fantastic opportunity for members to play and learn together in a welcoming environment, explore new pieces, and receive advice from our knowledgeable workshop leaders, Carla Rees - Professor of Low Flutes and Contemporary Flute at the Royal Academy of Music - and László Rózsa, renowned recorder player, chamber musician and Director of Performance at the University of Nottingham.

There will also be a chance during the day to watch performances from talented Competitions entrants, and browse trade stands with an array of flutes, accessories and sheet music - a chance to find your next flute, upgrade your kit or discover some fab new repertoire!

We will be in touch in advance of the day to check what instruments you will be bringing and if you would like music in advance.
