This is a fundraising weekend with 50% of the proceeds going to the orchestra and 50% to the fantastic charity Music Fund (www.musicfund.eu), a charity that collects musical instruments, repairs them as necessary and sends them to its partner music schools in Palestine, Israël, Mozambique, DR Congo, South Africa, Morocco, Haïti and Belgium.  It also trains instrument technicians from those same countries to enable the instruments to be maintained.

Cost

The minimum cost to take part is as below.  You will be sent details of how to pay this once you have been offered a place.

Whole weekend:           £25 / £20 (unwaged)
One day (or part day):  £15 / £10 (unwaged)
