With a department consisting of more than 300 students we are able to run over 15 orchestras, bands, chamber music groups and ensembles. With such a wealth of talent we strive to provide unique and inspiring opportunities for our students through concerts, masterclasses, coaching and instrumental courses.

Our aim is to create an exciting environment which not only inspires our young musicians but provides them with invaluable life skills, friendships and memories!
