Orchestral Playing Day: 9.30am – 5.30pm
Albert Hall, North Circus St,
Nottingham NG1 5AA

Did you learn an instrument at school, only for it to be gathering dust in the attic?  Maybe you have taken up an instrument later in life purely for the joy of playing?

If so, Blow the Dust off Your Instrument June 2026 is for you!

This exciting and welcoming playing day led by Alex Robinson (orchestra and string ensemble) and Claire Franklin (wind band), is designed to help you rediscover old skills or put newly learned ones into action. You will enjoy making music in a friendly, relaxed and supportive atmosphere, alongside fellow players who share your enthusiasm.

To help you feel confident and prepared, parts will be sent out in advance, giving you plenty of time to get to grips with the music before the day itself.

Dust off your instrument, rediscover the joy of playing, and join us for a day of music-making you won’t forget!
