We would love more instrumental players to join our orchestras and bands and enjoy being part of a group who rehearse and perform together.  

Our youth level bands and orchestras are for young musicians (up to 25 years) playing at grade 5 level, no auditions required.

Come along to the first session FREE and give it a go before signing up. Email India on [email protected] for more information about taking part in a free session.

"From a young age I was involved in Severn Arts ensembles which was a fantastic experience for me…I learnt so much from being part of these groups and there is no doubt that they contributed to my love for music and helped to lead me into a career in music." - Katie Hawcutt
