What an achievement! Alex S (Lower Fifth) won the Advanced Woodwind and Brass class at the Tunbridge Wells Arts Festival and came second in the Advanced Recital class.

Alex received invaluable feedback from the judges, and it was a great opportunity to perform all three of his Grade 8 clarinet pieces.

Because it is the 75th Anniversary of the TWAF, they are running a Bursary competition and Alex is one of seven selected for the finals. This final competition will be held as part of the festival concert at Trinity Theatre Tunbridge Wells on Sunday 17th March.
