Symphony Concert Tickets for Children
Plymouth Music Accord is funding access for children to the November 27th concert by the Plymouth Symphony Orchestra – full programme below. The concert is in St Andrew’s Minster starting at 7.30. It will last about two hours.
Becaue of the limited space in St. Andrew's it would be preferable for primary school children to attend the dress rehearsal on 26th November starting at 7 pm also in St Andrew’s. At this rehearsal children can arrive and depart freely and also have the opportunity to talk to the guitar soloist or players of instruments that take their fancy.
Schools should apply to Clive Jenkins – clivejenkinsmusic@btinternet.com for tickets issued by Plymouth Music Accord, stating whether their pupils wish to attend the dress rehearsal or the actual performance. Free tickets are also available for accompanying teachers or parents but schools are asked to keep the adult to child ratio as low as possible.
