Playing music together in a group is what really brings music alive for a lot of budding young musicians. For many that valuable experience takes place in one of our three vibrant Music Centres.
Our amazing groups and ensembles at Hemsworth Music Centre run every Saturday morning during term time from 9.00am until 12.00 noon at Grove Lea Primary School in Hemsworth.
We are proud to run a variety of musical groups for all ages and of different standards hoping that there is something for everyone! Please see below for a full list of ensembles.
The cost of attending Music Centre and WMS Ensembles is only £61 per term. Please come and visit us at any time or take part in a free taster session.
