Pro Corda's National Chamber Music Festival For Schools
Pro Corda's annual Chamber Music Festival for Schools is a celebration of all that is great about ensemble playing: its central role in the development of young musicians, the wonderful chamber music repertoire, the endless possibilities for creative ensemble work and crucially the thousands of young people themselves up and down the country who get such a huge amount out of engaging with ensemble playing.
Leiston Abbey
Leiston Abbey is a beautiful historic site dating from 1363, set in the Suffolk countryside on the heritage coast. Nearby are the seaside towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold, and the RSPB Bird Reserve at Minsmere is just a short distance away.
Activities Unlimited
In partnership with Scope, Pro Corda has established a special programme for the most disadvantaged young people in our immediate community of Suffolk. The one-day workshop days are taking place at Leiston Abbey throughout 2011 with a number of two day residential courses as well. The curriculum is based on our "Create Together" performing arts programme and allows those most disadvantaged to access artistic and performing opportunities.

Next weekend residential course at Leiston Abbey, 21st-22nd May 2011
