GALSI – Gender and the Large and Shiny Instruments – aims to address gender imbalances for instrumentalists. They advocate instruments that have not traditionally been viewed as ‘feminine’ choices in recent historical times.

This two-day course is open to anyone who plays a brass or percussion instrument, is aged eight to 25 years old, and identifies as female or non-binary.

Participants will be split into junior and senior ensembles for workshops, masterclasses and performances.

For more information, please visit the GALSI website
