New and exciting partnerships and music education opportunities – Autumn, 2022.

by poolesoc, posted in education, Events, News

Whilst it only seems a short while since we had our summer school the new term is rolling around again and whilst thoughts of school and all that it brings are doubtless on everyone’s mind we are also wishing to let you know about some fantastic education opportunities for local young student musicians, brought to you by Poole Society for Young Musicians. Application process and expressions of interest are open now – form can be found HERE

We are delighted to have a formal partnership with the Royal Academy of Music and their Advanced Specialist Strings Ensemble Training (ASSET) award quartet and support from the Albert and Eugenie Frost Trust, which allows us to access to some very special undergraduate musicians and financial support for some of the educational programme that has been put together.

We will also be once again working with hub partner Soundstorm Music Education Agency who will be supporting some of these activities.

We very fortunate to be able to have these opportunities and we hope that as many young people as possible will take them up to add further skill and dimension to their playing and music understanding. It is also a wonderful opportunity for them to mix and make friends with other like-minded students.

Musical Inspiration for school pupils

by poolesoc, posted in Events

Supported by our Hub Partner SoundStorm, professional violist, Alison Kay, took three of our Undergrad musicians into ten BCP primary schools at the end of the Spring Term and they performed eighteen interactive live group concerts for the children. 

They reached out to over 3000 children while over 100 children received a short violin lesson as well as being exposed to a diverse range of music from Bach, to Bartok and a selection of Disney favourites. The feed back has been fantastic and we hope that many children might be able to find the opportunity to learn an instrument soon! They certainly seemed very keen.

WE’RE SORRY IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY TO CANCEL THIS EVENT

JAMBOREE – BOOKING and info on line

We are deeply disappointed to have to announce that we have decided to cancel our Music Jamboree due to be held on the 24th July. It is not an easy time at the moment for us to deliver such an ambitious creative event as our Jamboree was designed to be. We are now looking a year ahead to hold our Music Jamboree next summer at the same time of year. We do hope this has not disrupted your plans too badly. We will keep our mountain of musical instruments polished up and ready for next year. 

With kindest wishes to all those young MUSIC LOVERS out there. 

Keep singing, playing and dancing!

Natalie Covell,

Coffee House Concert Sell Out

by poolesoc, posted in Events

This year’s coffee house concert was, once again, a resounding success. With almost 40 young people taking part and an amazing array of cakes from Debra a fantastic afternoon was had by all. A diverse programme from Mission Impossible to Mozart and plenty in between. Some very young performers and excellent performances meant a truly enjoyable way to spend St David’s day and celebrate the start of Spring, which seems to have been a long time coming.
