It was a wonderful opportunity to round of what has been a very busy year with this special gala concet with
Martin Winter. Martin was born in Barton so in some respects he wasreturning home. Martin is a Graduate

he has been the Co-Principle Trumpet with the Bergen Filharmoniske Orkester, Norway

In addition to
professional work, he
has played principal
cornet with
outstanding brass
bands, notably the
Desford Colliery
Dowty Band, Britannia
Building Society Band,
Williams Fairey Band,
Yorkshire Building
Society Band and the
National Youth Brass
Band of Great Britain.

After leaving the
RNCM as a student,
he became a Junior
Fellow in teaching,
and tutored trumpet
and cornet for eight
years. During this
time he became a
recommended
teacher for both
Manchester and
Durham Universities.
He has also been
guest lecturer for
the Royal College of
Music in London,
