Hide AdThe Orchestra's schools concerts, along with presenter Cath Arlidge and conductor David Brophy, invite P4-P7 pupils to become ‘musical detectives’ for the day as they uncover and solve musical mysteries.
The orchestra say that this fun, interactive performance is a great way to introduce children to the world of an orchestra and musical instruments and accompanying resources, which link into the curriculum, are also circulated to all involved.
It is the first time the Orchestra has partnered with Deloitte and it has come at a significant time for the charity.
