Junior Orchestra Day, tuesday 24 february, 9.30am-4.30pm
We’d love to invite you to join us for a day of learning new music and rehearsals, culminating in a wonderful concert for parents, teachers and invited guests. This will be a fantastic opportunity for budding young musicians who play orchestral strings, wind and brass from Grade 1 upwards to come together with pupils from other schools and celebrate the joy of orchestral music.
Pupils are welcome to attend as small groups or as individuals (with permission from their school). It is also possible for individual children to be dropped off and picked up by parents (with their consent). Regretfully, we are not able to accommodate guitars, percussionists or the recorder.
