The 2023 CASSGB Single Reed Day was held at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire on 1st October.

Over 100 clarinet and saxophone players from all over the UK gathered  for a day of performances, masterclasses and play sessions.  An array of trade stands were on site to keep people entertained throughout the day offering a unique opportunity to try out the latest models of clarinets and saxophones.
