National Orchestra for All - FREE Inclusive Concert for Primary Schools

NOFA invites primary schools in and around Birmingham to join them for a celebration of Orchestras for All’s 15th birthday. Expect a wide range of musical styles including music from How to Train Your Dragon, a famous Dvořák work, a traditional Ghanian playground tune, energetic Latin American music, and an exciting new 15th birthday celebration piece. With plenty of opportunities to sing, dance and clap along, it’s guaranteed to be a fun-filled musical experience for children of all ages.

Primary schools who sign up to attend will also receive a selection of free classroom resources to engage the children in singing, body percussion and puppet-making that will support their concert experience.
