Music Makers
Rupert House School, Henley RG9 2BN
Sunday 3rd March 2024 - 1.30-2.30pm
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.

Senior Proms
Wednesday 6th March 2024, 7pm – 8.30pm
School years 7 - 13 (exceptions may be permitted on request)
Kenton Theatre
HYF Senior Proms is an opportunity for secondary school-aged children to perform in a concert in a professional theatre. Performances can be solo, with an accompanist or in a group with friends. Ask your teacher for suggestions of a suitable piece to play, or you could even write your own music. The important thing is to have fun preparing your piece for the concert.
Rehearsal/Sound check times: There are no formal rehearsals but we plan to open the Theatre early shortly before the event for tuning and warming up.
