🎶😁 We're just one week away from the beginning of the new Sistema Norwich term, and we're looking forward to another great year, with even more students making music together in our ensembles. Our programme is FREE at point-of-access for all our students, thanks to our wonderful supporters and funders, but there's always more work to be done. .🎶😁

To find out how YOU can help us support more children through music education in a programme that teaches them not only the benefits of playing music, but crucially those skills involved in playing it togther, visit our Support Us page 👉 https://bit.ly/SupportSistema

💻🎶 Norwich Summer Sessions may be over but the work carries on here at NORCA, as our tutor team reconvenes ahead of the new Sistema Norwich year to plan our delivery. With over 140 new and returning students about to embark on another year of our orchestral programme, the team put in a huge amount of work to ensure our students are engaged and flourishing both as musicians and young people.

This provision is FREE to our students to ensure the programme is open to all. If this feels like something you'd like to support, please take a look at our supporters page 👉 https://bit.ly/SupportSistema

A pleasure to have you on the bill!

What a blast singing at the Summer Sessions! 🫶

We had such a lovely time performing together and enjoying the day. Singing outside definitely comes with its own acoustic challenges, but it was a great experience and we’re already looking forward to more performances.

More performances coming soon, watch this space!
