Your students can be part of the largest inclusive ensemble programme in the UK!

Open Orchestras is an adventure in music that’s made possible through partnership work. We’ll help you do more with music, giving young disabled students the opportunity to be creative with it, play music they’ve shaped, and show their community what they can do!

Talk to your team about starting your Open Orchestra now, so you can plan and get ready for the academic year 2024/25.

Here are key dates for your calendar. Together, we can make your Open Orchestra happen!

November 2023 – Join our Discovery webinar 

We look forward to meeting you virtually to share important points about the programme. During this one-hour online webinar, we’ll give you all the information you need to start planning your Open Orchestra. We’ll cover staffing, resources, how Open Orchestras can help build a partnership between schools and Music Hubs, and of course answer your questions. Open Orchestra members often join us to share their experience too. 

March – May 2024 – It’s time to register!

Register to enrol into the programme, so you can start offering inclusive ensemble music making to your students from September 2024.
