LJO is suitable for young musicians in Years 5 to 8 (inclusive) who play strings, woodwind, brass and percussion (tuned and untuned percussion) at Grade 1 standard and above (no formal grades required). Unfortunately, we are unable to accept piano or guitar applications.

The orchestra provides a great opportunity for young musicians to develop their instrumental skills and learn new arrangements under the expert leadership of professional cellist, Thibault Blanchard-Dubois and experienced Lewisham Music musicians.

Participants will take part in sectional rehearsals throughout the two days, gaining experience and confidence within small groups, before coming together to perform as part of a large orchestra with all the other young musicians. You can expect a mix of written score and improvised sections!

The cost is £55 (£15 for young people in receipt of Free School Meals or Looked After Children) for the two days.
