AN intermediate orchestra course for young musicians is being held later this month by the Malvern-based ESO.

Aimed at players aged 11-15, who have attained Grades IV-VI, it is designed to take the student to a higher level of orchestral playing by rehearsing a programme in great detail over the weekend.

The cost fee is £40 for two days, £20 for one day, with a £10 new membership fee.

It takes place on Saturday and Sunday, November 23 and 24, at the Downs School, Colwall, with registration at 9.30am on Saturday. Bring a packed lunch. For more details, call 01684 560695.
