A trombone player performs to a group of people of varying ages. Everyone is laughing.

Join composer and facilitator Jonathan James, Bristol Beacon and London Symphony Orchestra’s LSO Discovery programme this Autumn for an interactive music-making workshop for people aged 8-108!

London Symphony Orchestra are in the house with superstar violist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, playing a concert of glorious Bruckner and a new piece by British composer Edmund Finnis. Inspired by this music we are teaming up with players from the LSO for an interactive and playful creative workshop. We’ll experiment. We’ll listen. We’ll make noise. We’ll discover new sound worlds—and, together, create something truly unique.

No experience required. Just bring your ears, your imagination and your curiosity. The workshop is for anyone aged 8 and up, all generations welcome. If you have an acoustic (not electric) instrument that you would like to bring, please do!

Presented by Bristol Beacon and London Symphony Orchestra

Age: This workshop is suitable for young people 8+, but younger children are welcome
