Our Saturday School is open to students aged 6 to 21 years who live or study in Hackney. We can also accept a number of students from the surrounding areas. We run for 30 weeks a year at Stoke Newington School, Clissold Road, London N16 9EX. On the tenth week of each term we present a public concert that showcases our musicians' playing in instrumental solos, ensemble and orchestras repertoire. Many of our students take ABRSM and Trinity College London exams.
