There are two opportunities coming up to hear up close the Philharmonia Orchestra’s principal trombonist Byron Fulcher. This coming weekend he will be in Bedfordshire with a quintet made up of the orchestra’s principal brass players. He will follow this a couple of weeks later by presenting a masterclass in orchestral trombone playing at the Royal College of Music in London.
