Harmonia's PhilHarmonia has two different formats - a woodwind band, and a full orchestra. Both are suitable for grade 0-5 players of mixed ages, and offer fun workshops.

The PhilHarmonia Orchestra has patiently been 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 open to all ages, but children must be accompanied by a playing adult. 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: January 2023 (to be confirmed)
1pm-6pm Coton School, nr Cambridge
Repertoire: TBA

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 needs no preparation before the workshop day. 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.
