Chetham\u2019s students are performing in front of a live audience today – becoming the UK\u2019s first youth orchestra to do so since the pandemic began.<\/p>\n
The event – which is the culmination of a two-week festival of music at Chetham\u2019s School of Music – features all 328 of our students, spread across four concerts in one day.<\/p>\n
Chetham\u2019s is home to many of the country\u2019s finest young musicians, aged 8-18. Their performances, in front of socially distanced audiences, are taking place at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.<\/p>\n
Chetham’s School of Music Joint Principal, Tom Redmond, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a long time since any young person in this country has performed in a youth orchestra in front of a live audience. These are the experiences which really shape a young musician. It\u2019s\u00a0 quite emotional for all of us involved!\u201d<\/p>\n
The day of concerts features works by composers from Beethoven and Tchaikovsky to Brahms and Resphigi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
