August is an exciting month for Opera North, the School of Music and MEETinLEEDS.
We welcomed the Opera North Orchestra Academy, aimed at 14-19 year olds, for a week-long residential course involving rehearsing and performing existing orchestral repertoire, side-by-side rehearsal with the full Orchestra of Opera North and sectional coaching with the professional musicians.
The Opera North Orchestra Camp will visit the School of Music to offer 10-18 year olds the opportunity to perform with professional players from the Orchestra of Opera North. The budding musicians will be able to develop their technical and musical ability in a creative and supportive environment.
DARE is the pioneering collaboration between Opera North and the University of Leeds. We bring the very best of both organisations together to play a positive role in shaping the future of arts and learning regionally, nationally and internationally, achieving success beyond anything either party could hope to achieve alone.
