Skipton Music Annual Schools Concert
Apollo Saxophone Quartet
Tue 28th January 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm
Following the successful revival of their Annual Schools Concert series, which welcomed over 150 pupils to Skipton Town Hall in both 2023 and 2024, Skipton Music is delighted to announce a further event for 2025.
This year their guest artists are the Apollo Saxophone Quartet, a brilliant group of saxophonists with a forty-year history of creating their own music and education projects as well as collaborating with composers from many genres, with film, with dancers, poets, orchestras and other musicians from all musical backgrounds.
This event is aimed at pupils in Years 5 & 6 at primary schools in the Skipton/Craven/North and West Yorkshire areas. Skipton Music will be contacting local schools directly with an invitation but if you are a teacher who would like to attend with a group of pupils, please feel free to contact them at skiptonmusic@gmail.com
Attendance is free of charge but you must register directly with Skipton Music in advance of the event and please note that spaces are limited so early registration is recommended.
Pupils are also very welcome to come along to the evening performance by the Apollo Saxophone Quartet together with their parents/guardians – tickets cost only £2 for under-19s.
