Saturday Centre
At the Southwark Music Saturday Centre, we offer young people a fun and engaging programme of music throughout the morning. With an emphasis on musicianship and ensemble skills, our young musicians gain a broad understanding and appreciation of a range of styles and disciplines.
Applications
Applications are open now to join the waiting list.
Please note that places are allocated once a year in the summer, and demand is very high. Allocation is based on a first come, first served basis and depends on instrument availability.
