Following the success of the first String Academy held in partnership with Scottish Chamber Orchestra earlier in the year, we launched the second series at the end of October.
51 young string players age 13 plus are attending for a series of five sessions on a Sunday afternoon, playing alongside musicians from the SCO. Four pupils from St Mary’s Music School have been selected to act as peer mentors, and as well as playing as part of the ensemble, are providing a supportive and guidance role for less experienced players.
NEW – Wind Academy announced – three consecutive Sundays from 16th February 2020.
We are delighted to announce that our partnership with SCO is expanding to include a Wind Academy in February of next year. This will run over three concurrent Sunday afternoons starting on the 16th February.
Both Academies are entirely free to participants.
If you are interested in attending the Wind Academy, please contact Susan White, s.white@st-marys-music-school.co.uk
