Summer School 2025

We’re celebrating 10 years of MfE’s Summer School in style! Pop the champagne corks and come and join the party.

The choir will be enjoying a number of popular celebratory opera choruses from Donizetti and Verdi, as well as hits by Mendelssohn, Monteverdi, Rutter and more. The orchestra travels to the stars with extracts from The Planets and comes back to earth with Johann Strauss’ Radetsky March. The wind band will take on the celebratory Concert Prelude by Philip Sparke and the saxophone ensemble will tackle Shostakovich’s jazzy Waltz No.2.

You’re in for a treat this year, with no less than 3 CONCERTS!

The Tailleferre Ensemble bring top flight wind playing to the table on Monday, Leo Melvin, esteemed cellist from the Nottingham based Villiers Quartet inspires us on Tuesday and vocal ensemble Sonoro sing for joy on Wednesday.

Once the concerts are over, learn from these great artists in specially organised workshops just for you!”

 

Each day will start at 10am (registration from 9.30am) and finish at approximately 5.30pm with Showcase Concerts for the singers and instrumentalists early on Wednesday evening.

Be part of the social buzz. There is plenty of time to chat to tutors, browse the stands and enjoy the school grounds.

There will be coffee and pastries to welcome you on the first day and a farewell buffet on the final evening.
