ESO in Pre-schools and Primary Schools February 2012

As oart of project funded by Youth Music ESO musicians conducted a series of workshops about English orchestral music in Great Witley and Abberley primary schools, involving every child, many parents and even the teachers in a performance at the end. This project worked very well and we are hoping to take it out to more schools in the area (and farther).

The workshops werecomplemented by performances of "Storytime", our pre-school project which we are developing from an original arrangement with the London Mozart Players, in the villages pre-schools.
