As part of our universal offer to ABS students, each year we run sessions for students in Year 7 to introduce them to the orchestra.
These sessions take place within the first few weeks of joining the school. Presented by James Redwood, these sessions give the chance for students, many of whom we have met and worked with during their time at primary school, to meet players from the OAE, hear baroque music and take part in some participatory music making.
Ahead of these sessions we also run a preliminary workshop for students in Year 7 with additional needs so they have already met some of the team and are familiar with what will be happening in the orchestral workshop.
