On Monday we launched our biggest ever musical collaboration #Beethoven250/4ALL
We are joining the global 250 year celebrations of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven by learning to play the final movement of his Symphony No. 6 ‘The Pastoral’. We have sheet music available for all the instruments played in our schools, and adapted them for different levels of experience. We hope all schools will join in, record their contributions and by mid-July we will have a collaborative performance from our own homes!
