Southampton and Isle of Wight Music will be running monthly string group workshops in the Education Room at Osborne House with Neil Valentine culminating in an exciting performance opportunity with the BSO on 30th November!

This will be amazing opportunity for string players of KS2 and up to take part in some ensemble playing, creative composition activities and bring this all together with the professional musicians from the BSO as part of their Music in your Doorstep series. Parents and teachers who are string players are also welcome to join the sessions.

The workshops are suitable for anyone of any ability from KS2 age and up with any string instrument.

Join us for a concert of family friendly music, with BSO and local young musicians from the Isle of Wight.

Come and join 14 BSO musicians, a young Isle of Wight string group, and someone to guide you through the music – this relaxed performance is perfect for young audiences going to a concert for the first time.  The afternoon will involve some listening, some participatory elements, and you’ll be sure to experience a mixture of styles – from Bjork to Moana, as well as relaxing classics. Designed with families in mind, let the music take you from forests to oceans and explore the curious creatures of the natural world. Do join us for this adventurous afternoon!
