Earthsong Students and the Bristol Benedetti Sessions

In November 2023, Earthsong students and young musicians from the South West joined Nicola Benedetti and tutors from the Benedetti Foundation for a weekend of music making at the Bristol Beacon. Energetic and interactive sessions exploring rhythm, pitch, harmony, and movement, sparked laughter,  creativity and music-making fun.

Adding to the excitement of the event was that the young musicians were the very first people to experience the transformed space, highlighting the venue’s commitment to being an inclusive hub for young people and the wider community to celebrate and explore music.This was a special weekend with exceptionally high quality teaching. We are big fans of Nicola Benedetti and her articulate advocacy for music making. You can hear her here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0g7n5p3
