The English Schools' Orchestra with Michael Bostock
Witness tomorrow’s musicians today as the English Schools’ Orchestra and award-winning pianist Michael Bostock bring the symphonic power of Rachmaninov, Wagenaar, and Scriabin to life in an extraordinary display of lyrical beauty and young talent.
Promoted by The English Schools' Orchestra.
Programme
Over five intensive days, students will rehearse with a team of professional orchestral tutors and experienced mentors, taking part in full orchestra rehearsals, sectional coaching, and supervised individual practice. The course culminates in a public concert on Sunday 1 November at 3.00pm at Milton Court.
The 2026 programme presents students with a varied and challenging selection of orchestral works, offering opportunities to develop ensemble skills, musical awareness, and confidence in large-scale symphonic performance. The programme includes Symphony No. 2 in C minor by Alexander Scriabin, Levenszomer by Johan Wagenaar, and Piano Concerto No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninov. Together, these works provide a balanced programme that allows students to engage with a range of late-Romantic styles while developing their orchestral technique and musicianship.
