Live Projects / Symphony Days

Symphony Days

The Philharmonia Orchestra are continuing on from last year's hugely successful Symphony Days project, which involved a staggering 700 students from across the country.

This year the project is taking place in a further 20 schools in Bedford, Bristol, Southend, Leicester and Basingstoke.

Symphony Days aim to give students the chance to
get to grips with a piece of music from the orchestra's repertoire during a creative half day workshop These days are led by orchestra musicians and our workshop leader Luke Crookes.

The students will then be able to hear
the orchestra perform the piece they
have studied in their local venue.
