Calling all young musicians! Join us for an informal and relaxed workshop where we will learn music from the Ivor Novello Award-nominated opera Gresford, Up From Underground, playing and conducting alongside musicians from the NEW Sinfonia orchestra.

Open to ALL instrumentalists Grade 1 and above!

Young musicians will perform new extracts from our Opera production alongside our orchestra of professional musicians. This workshop will develop their ensemble performance, confidence and leadership skills, and create inspirational and lasting musical memories as they play side-by-side with professional musicians. They will also be invited to try conducting the orchestra!

At 12.15pm we will have an informal performance of what we have worked on for parents before the workshop ends at 12.30pm.

We are taking Jon Guy’s Award-nominated opera Gresford, Up From Underground on tour across Wales. There are opportunities for young musicians to play in the orchestra during the performances in addition to the workshops. Young musicians must take part in a workshop to be eligible to play in a performance.

If you would like to sign up, please RSVP using the form below so we know who is attending and what instruments they play.

Sheet music can be found in the folder linked below. There are 5 parts and each part has some variations for difficulty level – please pick whichever part is most suitable for you! We recommend printing off your own practice parts but there will be printed copies of all parts available on the day.
