Opera North’s first orchestra camp is open to those aged between 10 and 18 years old and who play a musical instrument.

Opera North Orchestra Camp provides a programme packed with fun, play, high quality experiences, and a unique opportunity to work with professional musicians of a world renowned Opera Company.
The project will take place in the University’s School of Music and Leeds Beckett University’s James Graham Great Hall.
Dr Karen Burland, Head of the School of Music at the University, said: “All the pupils who attend Orchestra Camp are potentially the musicians of the future and we look forward to welcoming them to the School of Music and hopefully inspiring them to continue their music studies.”
