B&NES Music Service Ensembles run during term time only, on selected dates, and perform regularly throughout the year (view the calendars by clicking on the links below or refine your search above).
We are now accepting expressions of interest for Spring 2020. In a normal term, you would just need to arrive at your chosen ensemble for a free trial session. At the moment, due to COVID-19, we are working hard to get our ensembles back together in a COVID-Secure way. If you would you like to find out more about this or our ensembles, please send an email to music@bathnes.gov.uk and we will send you some information.
If you would like more regular updates, please do sign up to our Music Hub Newsletter, you can use the link (below) to do this:
