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:
Sunday 17th July 2022 Bar Hill Church 1pm-6pm.
Repertoire: Mambo from West Side Story, Brahms Hungarian Dance, Symphony no 1 Chevalier, Firebird finale by Stravinsky.
