Education and Outreach
The most exciting part of the festival, and why it is unique, is the willingness to take classical music to a new audience. There is a tangible belief amongst the performers that music is for everyone. In 2023 we reached reached around 1500 people visiting schools, hospices and carehomes around the county.
Our final concert of 2024 will include the première of a work devised by the participants of our primary school workshops.
Our ambitious outreach programme takes us to the following schools, care homes and hospices during the week before the festival:
Cold Ash Primary School
Fir Tree Primary School
Thatcham Park Primary School
Courthouse Junior School
Compton Primary School
Berkshire Community Hospital
Maitland House
Lakeside Care Home
Falkland Grange
Riverview Carehome
Please do get in touch if you would like further information about future visits and events.
