Orchestras and Wind Bands - Ages 8 - 18 years - Katherine Warington School (KWS), Harpenden and Bedford School, Bedford.

For nearly five decades, Musicale has been the summer destination for young musicians aged 5-18! Join us this summer at Katherine Warington School or Bedford School and become part of our legacy of music, friendship, and growth. Details for Orchestras and Wind Bands at Bedford are below! See our other course Step up to Music for ages 5-7.

Immerse yourself in our outstanding wind bands and orchestras, delving into a diverse range of classical music genres. Students thrive in full orchestral settings and specialised smaller ensembles, thoughtfully tailored to their age and skill level. This enriching week is suitable for students of all grades up to Grade 8 and beyond. Many Musicale Summer Holiday Alumni have gone on to attend prestigious music colleges across the country and have won renowned competitions like BBC Young Musician of the Year. At KWS we are welcoming back our brilliant team from last year and at Bedford School we are thrilled to have Sarah Williamson as our Musical Director. Each staff member holds an enhanced DBS check, is trained in safeguarding children, and includes fully trained first aiders ready to assist throughout the courses.

In addition to our musical offerings, each day features engaging non-musical activities designed to foster friendships and teamwork. Experience a week filled with learning, socialising, and performing, culminating in an unforgettable final evening concert on Friday. Parents, grandparents, friends, and supporters are warmly invited to join us for this special showcase!

The week concludes with an unforgettable final evening concert on Friday at 6:30 pm, where students will perform a curated selection of the music they've mastered throughout the week. Parents, grandparents, friends, and supporters are warmly invited to join us for this special showcase! The performance will last approximately one hour.
