John Hutchins has enjoyed connections with the Eynsford Concert Band for many years and was appointed Musical Director in 2003.

 

Having graduated from the Royal Academy of Music with a first class honours degree, John is now enjoying a career as a freelance trumpeter.  He has performed worldwide with orchestras such as the Royal Opera House Orchestra, The Ulster Orchestra, and the Philharmonia.

Brass coaching features highly in John’s career, encompassing work as far a field as the Vietnamese Symphony Orchestra and Wells International School of music. He has also contributed to various brass publications and co-written a study book for trumpet.
