Nicola Benedetti and the Benedetti Foundation Orchestra

Over the weekend of 24-26 September Saffron Hall will be filled with primary school children, string players of all ages and abilities and local string teachers experiencing a mass-collective musical experience to enthuse them about making music together. We warmly invite you to join us to celebrate the start of this inspiring weekend with an exclusive event on Friday 24 September.
