Our Courses

8th – 15th July 2018

Our three orchestras are broadly distinguished by age and playing ability, with some overlap across the three, and we offer successful applicants a place in the ensemble where we feel they will be best equipped to take part effectively, successfully and happily. Details of each orchestra appear on a separate page and this brief summary might be helpful as you look at what we offer.

Standards indicated are for guidance only – you do not need to have taken the particular examinations.
