The PhilHarmonia Orchestra is currently conducted by David Minchin, and led by Kirsty Body.
Our goal is to provide an ensemble opportunity to adults (and children) who are either learning an instrument for the first time, or who are adding an additional instrument to their skill set. Repertoire mostly 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. Children are welcome to attend, but must come WITH a playing adult if they are of primary school age. This is a FUN orchestra and the focus is to enjoy learning together, not necessarily to play ALL the right notes!
NEXT ORCHESTRA WORKSHOP: Sunday 30th June Coton School 3pm-6pm
Repertoire: Bizet Habanera and Toreador (10 Pieces), Holst Mars (10 Pieces), Elgar Pomp and Circumstance (music provided on the day)
£20 per person
IMPORTANT INFO
Workshops are open to age 8- adult learners/players. Secondary aged children are welcome, but are advised to be grade 3+. Younger and lower grade children may only attend if with a playing adult.
