We offer a variety of ensembles for orchestral and band instrumentalists, which are organised by Maddie Wood, Ensembles, Events & Media Coordinator. There are bands and orchestras for young musicians of all ages and abilities.
The ensembles rehearse on weekday evenings during term time and are a great way to enjoy music-making and meet friends. There are concerts at the end of each term and players can also take part in our residential music weekends away (years 4-8) and European concert tours (year 9+).
