We run nationally-auditioned, high-level wind orchestra and chamber courses for young musicians aged between 14 and 21. Attendance on our courses provides players with the opportunity to work with conductors and tutors at the very top of their profession, as well as others of their own age, who are equally as passionate and committed to musical performance, whether in the main orchestra or on one of our chamber music courses.
