Tune in to Britten Sinfonia
Britten Sinfonia musicians have been in Norwich today and will be in King’s Lynn tomorrow, rehearsing and performing with over 700 children who have been learning instruments through the Wider Opportunites scheme. Workshop leader Tim Steiner has arranged music for (huge!) ensemble to accommodate all ability and experience levels, from beginners to Britten Sinfonia’s professional musicians. We will post photos and videos from these exciting events online shortly. Anglia TV came to visit the project today and will be reporting on their news bulletin this evening.
