LPO Junior Artists: Overture Day – London

Applications for this Overture day are now closed

What to expect

LPO Junior Artists: Overture days are free, fun orchestral skills days where participants play alongside LPO musicians, get tips on musicianship and find out what happens behind the scenes of a professional orchestra. In this Overture day we will play music that will take us to magical, mythical lands, including extracts from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, Grieg’s ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King,’ and music from Dreamworks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon.

Please note that applications for our next Overture days in Eastbourne (Wednesday 16 April) and Worthing (Thursday 17 April) will open on Monday 3 February 2025. Young musicians will only be invited to attend one of these three Overture days.

Where and when?

The day will take place at Saint Gabriel’s College, Langton Road, London, SW9 6UL from 10.30am – 4.30pm. At 4pm there will be a performance showcasing the pieces we have explored, which will be open to friends and family.

“The end performance was amazing and really made me happy. It was great to practise all day with other clarinet players. I feel like I improved a lot in one day.”
