Jersey Summer Music 2021

19th-24th July 2021

 

We are all thrilled with the programme on offer for this year’s summer course ‘Jersey Summer Music’.  Open islandwide to young instrumentalists from 8yrs of age upwards.

Highlights this year include the visiting ‘School of Noise’ guest ensemble (‘Electro-Pop’ workshops featuring ‘Laser Harp’…don’t ask!!!), an evening performance at Durrell at Dusk, and a spectacular concert at L’Etacquerel Fort!

We will once again be welcoming over a Visiting Faculty to join our brilliant local team, including Damon Flanagan (Professor of Violin at Trinity Laban Conservatoire), Ed Leaker (Head of Woodwind at Well’s Cathedral School), and Steve Thompson (St Dunstan’s College/London Concert Orchestra/Glen Miller Orchestra).

Our thanks go once again to the One Foundation for their continued support to allow all these visiting elements to happen, which always adds a whole new level to the course each year.  A range of other activities run alongside the musical programme, so we hope this presents another nicely balanced week of music and ‘letting off some steam’ fun!

We look forward to welcome all instrumentalists from 8yrs of age upwards, and hope to get fully subscribed again so please don’t delay in getting your forms in if you would like to participate.

 

Please check back for the brochure and application form.

Support us

Support us

Whilst income from Venue Hire helps to cover the running costs of the property, therefore allowing tuition fees to be kept as low as possible, the academy’s regular programme of Projects and Events can only operate through financial support.  For various projects over the years we have been grateful for the support of organisations including the Jersey Arts Trust, Dorothy Chapman Trust, Strasser Foundation, Finderman Charitable Trust, RBS Coutts, Vibert and Volaw, One Foundation, and Jersey Tourism.

We have also gratefully received the support of private donations and memorial contributions in lieu of flowers, all of which has helped to fund these exciting and inspiring educational activities. However, there is still a great deal more that we can do with the right support, and if you are able to help us in any way then please contact us.
