Experience the power of live symphonic music with the BBC Philharmonic.

Resources for teachers will also be made available throughout the year.
Meet the Phil – EXTRA for Primary Schools
If you book to attend one of the Meet the Phil sessions for Year 6 pupils you can also get a FREE one hour workshop in your school to prepare your pupils for their visit to the BBC. Two musicians from the BBC Philharmonic will visit your school and talk about the music your pupils will hear at the session, play some musical games, explain the geography of an orchestra and why certain instruments sit in certain places plus an insight into some of the orchestral rituals they might see and hear at a rehearsal and concert. These sessions are likely to be very popular and will be booked on a ‘first come’ basis. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
