NEW SUMMER ORCHESTRAL COURSE AT ST BEES
2nd - 9th August, 2014
This year, St Bees School is hosting a new Orchestral Course in August.
Please see below a letter from a Director of the course regarding, in particular, string players.
"Hi
My name is Huw Hughes, I am one of the Directors of this new venture in the Lake District. This is modelled very much on the very successful and highly popular Coleg Harlech Adult Orchestral Summer School, the demise of which sadly was due to the Coleg suffering major financial difficulties, resulting in the selling off of its residential accomodation.
Applications are very healthy so far, one key factor is building a large string section for depth of sound, so I was wondering if you could make the course information (link below) available to any string players that may be interested.
Thank you,
Huw."
