We welcome music education hubs, music services, schools and music education professionals to spend an immersive day with us on guiding teenage musicians in their orchestral playing. You’ll have the opportunity to openly discuss ideas and develop your skills in nurturing young musicianship by observing our rehearsals, Tutors, and Conductors, and participating in our conducting workshops. It’ll also be a valuable opportunity for us to learn more about your work and see how we can support you year round.
