Pro Corda Collective Spring ’26

For 2026, Pro Corda North is taking a very special trip to Suffolk!! We will be hosting Pro Corda North at our Leiston Abbey home and are keen to welcome as many of our Pro Corda North young people as possible to our magical Leiston Abbey site. Our students tell us how much they love being here, so we’re looking forward to welcoming our Pro Corda North family here too!

As ever, Pro Corda North offers talented string players, pianists and wind players ages 9-18 years, from at least grade 5 upwards, the experience of daily chamber music sessions in at least two chamber groups, musicianship which may include composition, dynamic rehearsal techniques, improvisation and even art. There will also be bespoke workshops and discussions focussing on performance anxiety, instrumental technique, masterclasses and many informal concerts. There will also be a resident pianist to rehearse and perform any solo repertoire and practice clinics to ensure every student reaches their full potential.

We will be maintaining the wonderfully distinctive Pro Corda North feel with a mixed-age course, led by Alison Lansdown and her brilliant team as always. With excellent chamber music tuition at its heart, this course will offer students the rich musical education synonymous with Pro Corda (through orchestral playing, choir, musicianship, yoga and more) along with nurturing special social connections.

The collective course is for students 9-19 years old and will take place in April 2026.

Please note that places are currently limited to a maximum of 27 students per course, so we recommend booking early to secure your place
