Highlights
Many from all corners of the conference mentioned Oystein Baadsvik's recital performance as a highlight. But as you would expect, everyone had great brass playing coming out of (or should I say going into) their ears!

I had the honour of being a Jury Member for the Second Round of the tuba competition, which was a great experience, and a chance to hear some excellent music-making. I also performed with Jun Yamaoka (jazz euphonium player) in his concert.
