Free Young People’s Orchestral Workshop

Free Young People’s Orchestral Workshop

In May 2027 Essex Symphony Orchestra will once again be inviting young musicians to join them for a morning to enjoy orchestral playing alongside experienced players and under the guidance of our professional conductor, Matt Andrews (https://matthewandrews.net/)

The workshop is for pupils who learn an orchestral instrument in or out of school and who have passed Grade 1 to Grade 5. As last year, there will be just one session for everyone so that all players can enjoy the full orchestral sound created by the mix of beginner, intermediate and Grade 4/5 parts.

The exact date for the workshop has not yet been set, but watch this page for details as soon as they are published.
