Brass Academy’s event weekends in 2023–2024
The Brass Academy organises six event weekends between autumn 2023 and spring 2024. Different from the other two academies, these events are part of the Brass Academy’s admissions process. New students will be chosen during these six event weekends and will start their studies at the Brass Academy in autumn 2024.
An applicant does not have to participate in all of the events of 2023–2024 because the programme of the events is very similar.
