Patrick Bailey conductor/presenter
London Sinfonietta

Join the London Sinfonietta in our annual concert for young people, for the first time livestreamed from London and Southampton, as we explore iconic contemporary classical music and inspire a new generation of composers to get creative. Hear from composers living and working today as they guide you through the building blocks of composition, and gain the tools to give writing music a go for yourself in this participatory concert. 

In Southampton, you'll also have the chance to hear a new piece composed as the culmination of a project with Southampton Music Hub's Youth Concert Sinfonia, and in London, we'll be performing two pieces written by young people as part of our Composition Challenges, an online project supporting composition in the classroom and at home.

There will be two opportunities to tune in live, with two versions of the concert live streamed from London and Southampton to schools around the country for the first time.

The concert is ideal for ages 7-13 and will last for approximately 50 minutes.
