BBC orchestra moves to Great Yarmouth

The BBC Concert Orchestra is taking up a three-year residency in Great Yarmouth.

The move is part of Create Yarmouth, a collaboration with Orchestras Live and East Anglian arts organisations, which aims to to provide new music learning pathways.

BBC Concert Orchestra musicians will deliver workshops in every Great Yarmouth primary school, with free school concerts also scheduled.

Local young producers will develop their cultural industry skills by helping deliver parts of the programme.

A Heritage Action Zone cultural programme will see small ensembles perform in community settings across the region.
