Bookings open on 4 November for our annual two-day February half term orchestral project for wind, percussion and brass players: The Big Blast. The project from 19-20 February 2025 is designed for young musicians aged 5 to 18, from pre Grade 1 to post-Grade 8.

Thanks to the generous support of GSW Music Hub a place costs just £60 per student.

The project will take place at Dean Close Senior School for the first day, then move to Gloucester for a second day of rehearsals at our Barbican House base followed by a performance for family and friends at Blackfriars Priory

The young musicians will be supported by tutors from Gloucestershire Academy of Music, The Flowers Band and Make Music Gloucestershire.
