Lewisham Junior Orchestra makes its long awaited return, so come and join Lewisham Music for two days of exciting orchestral music making!
Lewisham Junior Orchestra provides a great opportunity for young musicians to develop their instrumental skills and learn new arrangements under the expert leadership of professional cellist, Thibault Blanchard-Dubois and experienced Lewisham Music musicians.
Participants will take part in sectional rehearsals throughout the two days, gaining experience and confidence within small groups, before coming together to perform as part of a large orchestra with all the other young musicians. You can expect a mix of written score and improvised sections!
This year young musicians will come on a journey to create music that explores the stories and sounds of the local area over the last 100 years.
“It was fun and I loved expressing my music with other musicians and exploring different instruments and listening to the sound of different musicians.”
