WHAT IS SYMPHONIC ENCOUNTERS?

A Classroom like no other

Tailored for primary and secondary schools, Symphonic Encounters is a genuinely unique experience, where hundreds of students interactively experience live orchestral music like never before. And teachers receive complimentary accompanying resources and activities.

Engagement on another level 

Symphonic Encounters uses a multi-modal approach to bring music to life!
In a fun 90-minute concert, students
  • listen to, think about and discuss music
  • move to, conduct and sing music
  • compose and improvise music
 
All with a live orchestra!
