Music Makers - now with two concerts thanks to high demand!
Rupert House School, Henley RG9 2BN
Saturday 11th March 2023 - first concert: 1.30-2.30pm and second concert: 3.00-4.00pm
School years 1 – 6
No tickets required
An event for primary school-aged musicians who play an instrument or sing to come and perform, either with friends or individually, in a friendly and supportive setting. At the end of each concert we are hoping to get all the players together for a group performance to celebrate the joy of making music – we will send you some music for this – it will be a piece that is easy to learn and there will be a very simple part for beginners as well as some song words. You will receive encouraging feedback on your performance from our 'Specialist Adviser’.
There will be no rehearsals but a room will be available on the day for you to warm up in.

Kenton Theatre
We are looking for singers (solo or groups) and bands. You can play just one number or up to 3 or 4. Maximum 15 minutes.
We have Henley Theatre Services who will provide professional sound support. We have had some amazing bands play for us over the years. Some are now professional musicians, have played on the radio and in music festivals such as Reading, and released their own music.
Rehearsal/Sound check times: From 3pm on the day. We will contact you to arrange a rehearsal slot. The technical rehearsal is compulsory and you will not be permitted to perform without attending.
