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.
