During these sessions, the Intermediate Orchestra will work on two pieces; one which has been arranged specially for you and one mass piece, bringing together the Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Orchestras. Repertoire will be announced soon.

On the weekend, we explore expression, storytelling, sound production, freedom in playing, the context of the music and improvisation, as well as delving into specific technical challenges.

A creative task is also shared in advance to encourage participants to immerse themselves in the story of the music during the preparation period. We then ask participants to bring this with them to the weekend. 

​Both days will end with a short sharing session to which families are invited to join (limited capacity). The sharing sessions will be recorded and shared with all participants.

​ Video Link: When you sign up, please add the link to a short video of your playing. This is not for assessment or audition, but helps us to support your young musicians during the weekend. If you can’t add a video link when signing up, you will be able to access a Google form to attach the link after you have completed your registration (please see your confirmation email for further instructions).
