Strings Inspire

Our Strings Inspire ensemble is an opportunity for young musicians in the early stages of their musical journey to meet and play with other young people from across the whole of Lancashire.

Our Strings Inspire ensemble is an opportunity for young musicians in the early stages of their musical journey to meet and play with other young people from across the whole of Lancashire.

We are open to all bowed string players (violin, viola, cello, double bass) aged 6 and above at a beginner to around grade 2 level.

The Inspire group takes place in the same venue on the same day as our symphony orchestras and you’ll have the opportunity to work with inspiring tutors and some of our young musicians from the orchestra.

Joining Inspire costs just £82.50 (payable termly) for the year with our Silver Subscription, which includes membership of as many groups as you like, including at our Music Centres. Costs are kept low as they’re subsidised by our Music Education Hub grant.
