FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD twin sisters from Launceston, Cathryn and Charlotte Nuta, have again been selected to play for the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain this summer.

The girls, who attend Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester, play the tenor horn and cornet respectively.

The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain was founded in 1952 by Dr Denis Wright and exists to give exceptionally gifted young brass instrumentalists the opportunity to perform advanced music and receive the highest quality teaching.

Cathryn and Charlotte are about to attend the 2017 summer course, which takes place at Repton School from Saturday, July 28 to Saturday, August 5. This course celebrates 65 years of the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain.

The course will conclude with two end of course concerts, which will take place at Repton School on Friday, August 4 and Albert Hall, Nottingham, on Saturday, August 5.

The conductor for the 2017 summer course is the National Youth Brass Band’s artistic director, the internationally renowned Bramwell Tovey.
