Come & Play
Please note that booking has now closed for this event.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to play in the 91Èȱ¬ Symphony Orchestra? Find out at our next Come & Play event, where we’ll be inviting amateur musicians to 91Èȱ¬ Maida Vale Studios to rehearse Sibelius' 'Finlandia' alongside members of the Orchestra, under the baton of professional conductor Michael Seal. What's more, the event will culminate in a studio performance of the piece, which will be recorded for future broadcast on 91Èȱ¬ Radio 3.
Whether you regularly play in an orchestra or group or if you haven’t played in an ensemble for several years, this is a chance to come and play through a popular orchestral work with some of the UK’s top orchestral musicians by your side and get top tips from a leading conductor.
