SOLD OUT! BSO KS4 Set Works Live events in Plymouth and Uffculme have now sold out.

In this special event for GCSE and BTEC music students and teachers from Devon and Torbay secondary schools, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) perform pieces from the current GCSE syllabus, as well as a live composition based on your ideas. Presented by BSO Associate Musician Patrick Bailey, KS4 Set Works Live concerts trace the development of music from the baroque period to the present day, supporting the music education of all KS4 music students.

The development of instruments and tastes is used as a narrative hook, allowing students to understand why styles vary from genre to genre, from harpsichord in Bach to musical theatre. The event also includes access to a private online page featuring digital learning resources available until the end of the academic year to support study.
