Secondary Education
An array of unique and valuable opportunities for secondary students to gain performance experience and take their musicianship to the next level.
Together with the Oxfordshire County Music Service, we are proud to provide opportunities for secondary age students to develop their performance skills as soloist and in an ensemble, learning from top musicians and gaining real experience of what it’s like to perform in a professional orchestra.
