What to expect
LPO Junior Artists: Overture days are free, fun orchestral skills days where participants play alongside LPO musicians as one big orchestra, get tips on musicianship in smaller group sessions, and find out what happens behind the scenes of a professional orchestra. In this Overture day we will explore music from both sides of the Atlantic, including Dvorak’s ‘New World’ Symphony, Copland’s ‘Rodeo’, and a brand new arrangement of ‘The Corryvreckan Whirlpool’ by emerging Scottish composer Aileen Sweeney!

The day will take place at Ratton School, Park Avenue, Eastbourne, BN21 2XR from 11.00am – 4.30pm.
At 4pm there will be a free performance showcasing the pieces we have explored, which will be open to friends and family.
