Our schools programme continues to develop and flourish. This year will include a project based around Carnival of the Animals, live performances by fantastic musicians in secondary schools, open rehearsals for school groups, and our essential work in primary schools in areas of social deprivation. We are delighted to work in partnership with Essex Music Education Hub and with further funding from Essex Community Foundation. Please email Katie Kennedy or call 07968 702 492 for more information.
We rely on your generosity to continue bringing live music and performance opportunities to children, and stunning musicians to our doorstep. Volunteers are vital for the running of the festival. If you would like to help as we require ushers, parking attendants, programme sellers and FOH support. We are also seeking families to host musicians. Please email us and let us know if you can help or someone you know who might be interested.
