The PhilHarmonia Orchestra has been patiently led by Russell Keable, Steve Bingham and David Minchin. The goal is to provide an ensemble opportunity to adults who are either learning an instrument for the first time, or who are adding an additional instrument to their skill set. It is aimed at adult players plus their children, but unaccompanied secondary aged children of grade 4+ are now welcome to attend. Repertoire consists of the fantastic BBC Ten Pieces works which feature arrangements of famous classical pieces, with three different difficulty levels so everyone can find something manageable.
NEXT ORCHESTRA WORKSHOP: Saturday 4th February 2023
1pm-6pm Coton School, nr Cambridge
Repertoire: Grieg In The Hall of the Mountain King, Villa-Lobos The Little Train of the Caipira, Vivaldi Winter

The PhilHarmonia Band is led by Kirsty, and is open to children and adults up to grade 5 on any woodwind instrument. Higher level players are welcome, but should expect to play some very easy parts for some pieces. The music is very straightforward and is supplied on the workshop day itself. This group is suitable for age 7+ and unaccompanied children are welcome. The goal is to provide an initial ensemble experience for early grade players, with some more difficult parts for more advanced players. Places MUST be booked at least 24 hours before the workshop so that suitable music is prepared for each player.
