Please see the attached letter and contact information about joining Cumbria Youth Orchestra this year. I cannot speak highly enough of the value of playing in regional and county music groups – I myself came through the Lancashire Schools Music setup and have never looked back and can quite honestly say that I would not have gone on to experience what I have through music without it.
The Westmorland Music Centre (Kendal) has an open day on Saturday: the two main groups are a great opportunity for musicians to further develop their musical skills outside school, and I thoroughly recommend that UVHS music students look at what they could experience beyond the provision that we offer at school. Please see the attached flyer.
