Overview
“‘Open Orchestras is a perfect example of how partnership working and co-design can create the best outcomes from the young people we serve. The inclusive way of working and blending of “traditional instruments”, voices, and technology is particularly innovative and something which inspires us with new approaches to all our offer.”
Charly Richardson, chief executive, Lewisham Music (Music Teacher Magazine, August 2021)
The Open Orchestras programme runs in line with the academic year. The next window to register a special school into the programme will be between Friday 1 March – Friday 24 May 2024, for delivery in the 2024/25 academic year.
