Tuba Day - Conservatory Kortrijk
On Sunday May 31, we are organizing a pleasant and inspiring tuba day at the conservatory of Kortrijk, and you are warmly invited!
In the afternoon from 1 pm to approx. 6 pm, we will play together in a large tuba ensemble, where the joy of making music takes center stage. In addition, those who are interested can optionally participate in a masterclass. You can actively take part in a lesson yourself or simply listen and learn from other participants. (The schedule will be drawn up depending on the number of participants)
Good news: the entire day is completely free of charge!
