Edward is in his third and final year of a music degree here at the University of Birmingham. He is privileged to be conducting the wind band for the fourth term in a row, every term since arriving at the university, making him the first conductor to have achieved this feat. When he is not conducting Edward can be found playing trombone in a wide variety of ensembles, and writing music having recently been published through SP&S Publishing. He is really looking forward to another great term with the wind band.
Having just completed his degree in Music, Tom is now studying composition as a postgraduate in the department. Tom is a classical and jazz guitarist, composer and conductor, and a keen Taekwondo-ist on the side.
