The first competition was held in 2007. It was a great success, showcasing some extremely talented young brass players.
We are hoping that our second competition will encourage many young musicians (resident in the Province of Ontario) to compete for generous prizes and to benefit from the advice of adjudicators, experts in the field of brass performance.
