There are then at least three concerts in the evening for all to attend - at 5.00pm, 8.15pm and 10.15pm. The Choir is one of the main features of the Summer School and we hope that most people attending will want to take part. Each week the Choir takes up the challenge of learning a new work with a new conductor. Rehearsals are from 9.15 until 10.45am each morning, leaving the rest of the day free for other musical activities, and there is a public performance on the Friday evening. Copies of the week's music are available for sale in advance and during Summer School from the music shop.
Membership is open to all without admission.
The Summer School offers an extensive chamber and wind chamber music programme which is organised by Nathaniel Vallois, Barbara Sue-White and Laurence Perkins. Coaching is available to players of all levels in either pre-formed or informal groups. The availability of professional coaches and chamber music associates offers amateurs the opportunity to be coached and also to play with professionals in some sessions. If you would like to take part in the chamber music programme, please fill in the Chamber Music form on the back of the Booking Application form. Each week the orchestra works with an experienced director to give instrumentalists insights into orchestral playing and repertoire.
