Want to join County Groups? 

Our highly skilled, DBS cleared tutors are passionate about supporting young people to be the best musicians they can be!

Our four County Groups explore and perform an exciting repertoire of orchestral masterpieces and contemporary works by composers of today.  What’s more, young musicians get the chance to play in a professionally staged concert, with members of some groups having the opportunity to take part in a fabulous four day residential and travel as part of a biennial foreign tour.
