Orchestral Open Day- Sunday 22 June 2025

Young musicians (Grades 3+ and from school years 5-8) are invited to participate in this fun and enjoyable event on Sunday 22 June 2025. (There is no charge for participating in this event).

Musicians from local schools will join forces with Caterham School’s musicians for a day of music-making and a showcase concert. Schools will be invited to bring their orchestras – including pupils from years 5 to 8 – to enjoy working with a professional guest conductor on a range of exciting repertoire.

The day will culminate in a showcase concert, where all musicians will present a programme featuring the music they have learned throughout the day. They will then join forces with Caterham School’s Symphony Orchestra to perform a massed item.

Following this, Caterham School will present their annual Lower School Concert, featuring performances from the Lower School Orchestra and Symphony Orchestra. Parents of all pupils involved in the Orchestral Open Day are very welcome to attend the whole concert, after which refreshments will be served.

The Orchestral Open Day provides:

Advice and guidance from the Caterham School Music Team
A chance to work under a special guest conductor
Opportunity to work with other young musicians from the area
A chance to explore new repertoire
Experience performing with new musical friends
