Exciting News: ESO Easter Courses for Young Musicians

Your Child’s Musical Journey Continues – Now More Accessible Than Ever

We have wonderful news to share about the orchestral courses your children love at Malvern College.

A Partnership That Benefits Your Family

After 15 years of hosting the National Schools Symphony Orchestra, we’re thrilled to announce an exciting new collaboration with the renowned English Symphony Orchestra (ESO). This partnership brings enhanced expertise, continuity, and – importantly – significant cost savings for families.

What This Means for Your Child

The courses you know, and trust continue with a fresh identity:
Beginners Course (Grade 0-3) – formerly NSSO Academy
Intermediates Course (Grade 4-7) – formerly NSSO Sinfonia
Same exceptional experience with expert tutors and pastoral staff from both Malvern College and ESO
Same inspiring venue at Malvern College
Dates: 30 March – 2 April 2026

The Financial Advantage

Because ESO operates independently of Malvern College, these courses are now VAT-free under the government’s new regulations. This makes world-class orchestral training more affordable and accessible to more young musicians.

Reserve Your Child’s Place

Don’t miss this opportunity for your child to develop their musical talents in a nurturing, professional environment.
