The National Children’s String Sinfonia (NCSS) is directed by Magnus Johnston. This is a string orchestra (Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass) characterised by its youthful exuberance and the sheer joy of performing in public. Sectional tutors help the players in matters of technique and ensemble, and the whole course is geared to producing a quality string sound that is organised to the very last detail.

Recent repertoire includes:
English Suite - Paul Lewis
Norwich Suite - John Gibbs
Two pieces from Henry V - Walton
St Paul’s Suite - Holst.
Capriol Suite - Warlock
Divertimento in D - Mozart

Standard required: Grade 5 upwards
