About Pro Corda
For more than 55 years, Pro Corda has been inspiring young people through chamber music and ensemble training.
Many of the top musicians performing on international concert platforms today trained at Pro Corda, where many say they discovered their love for chamber music.
Founded in 1969, Pro Corda is the UK's leading chamber music and ensemble training organisation, providing a continuous and progressive programme of music education from ages 8-19 and for adult amateurs too. Through world-class teaching, exceptional pastoral care and a distinctive approach to ensemble playing, we help people develop not only as musicians, but as confident, creative and collaborative individuals.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: music has the power to shape lives.
Our mission is to develop the person alongside the musician.
We believe that the lessons learned through chamber music—listening, communication, leadership, empathy and teamwork—extend far beyond the rehearsal room. By placing equal importance on personal and musical development, we create experiences that leave a lasting impact on every young person we work with, creating a positive, inspiring learning environment.
Today, Pro Corda remains the only youth music organisation in the UK to offer a continuous programme of chamber music and ensemble training from childhood through to early adulthood.
