“
The Year of…” is an ongoing large-scale project begun in 2013. Each year sees a different international classical musician or ensemble working with schools in Somerset to spread their passion and enjoyment for music.
Musicians visit local schools with Jackdaws to give a whole school performance, and a workshop with a smaller group of children. Workshop musicians from all schools then join together for the Grand Finale performance, which is always a spectacular event. Visit the individual pages below for more information.
