This Friday, we’re throwing it back to a decade of big hits, big hair, and even bigger anthems with ‘80s Classical at Lighthouse Poole.

Nik Kershaw, Johnny Hates Jazz and T'pau/Carol Decker take to the stage alongside musicians from the Orchestra, bringing timeless classics to life as well at epic singalongs of Queen, ABBA, Eurythmics and more.

There are only a handful of tickets left so book now! ➡️ https://buff.ly/7Cbp8OZ

We're blessed to be based in such a beautiful part of the country – and we can't wait to be performing three outdoor concerts this summer at Corfe Castle! ☀️🎶🏰

These three events take you from the 'West End to Hollywood' (24 July), back to the '80's (25 July) and into the natural world with 'Curious Creatures & Adventurous Animals' (26 July)!

We'll see you under the stars this summer! ➡️ https://buff.ly/Brm3X3h

5,275 children and their teachers came to Lighthouse Poole last week to experience four performances of ‘Explore the Orchestra: Sing Out!’ - with Enyi Okpara, James Redwood, and Felicity Buckland.

Plus, a further 9,749 pupils accessed the final performance online via classrooms as far away as Hull!

These Key Stage 2 schools’ concerts are created to get children taking part in live music – and supporting their teachers to feel confident in delivering top quality music in the classroom. Each year, we tour Bristol Beacon, University of Exeter, Lighthouse, Poole and Portsmouth Guildhall, reaching an estimated 10,000 children in the concert hall, plus more via livestream.

Thanks to all the teachers, parents, music hubs and venue partners for helping us to reach all of these children with the power of live music. And, it’s not too soon to register for next year! Explore the Orchestra returns in the new year…
