There's still time to join the Lord Mayor's Procession! #LMW23

[Norwich City Council @NorwichCC]

The city’s biggest celebration party of the year – the Lord Mayor’s Weekend 7-9 July - is just five weeks away. Come and watch the festivities or better still join in. 🥳 There is still time to enter in the Lord Mayor’s Procession – see https://t.co/yYpNJNyUlv #LMW23

Income should never be a barrier to children learning to play an instrument.

That's why social action programmes like Sistema Norwich are vital.

By prioritising music lessons for children with less opportunities, they are combatting a growing inequality in music education.

Tarren hit Norwich on Saturday, in the lovely ambience of the Octagon Chapel.

Coming to the Octagon Chapel in Colegate in April! We think this will be well worth a look!

[Norfolk Community Arts (NORCA) @NorfCommArts]

Back in November, our friends #ClarinetCascade had a concert for which they very kindly donated half the door to us. Yesterday, Cas and Carla dropped by to present us with a cheque, as well as a clarinet and some music stands for us! 😍🙏🎵

Week 2 of the new Sistema term, so we hope everybody now is back in the swing of things. Our new students have all been assigned instruments, so now the real fun begins! 🎻🎺🥁😄

[Norfolk Community Arts (NORCA) @NorfCommArts]

It was great to welcome our Da Capo students back for the first session of the new term, and for them to find out, after last term's Musical Carousel, which instrument they will be playing with us! 🎵🎻🎺🥁

🎉 A huge congratulations to our Sistema in Norwich ensembles for a fantastic pair of end of term concerts. The hard work and dedication of both students and our tutor team resulted in a wonderful performance enjoyed by an invited audience of family, trustees and guests. 🎵

[Norfolk Community Arts (NORCA) @NorfCommArts]

We were delighted to receive a visit from members of the Pulham Orchestra last week. They have, in an amazing act of generosity, donated a double bass to our orchestra, which ensures we can continue to offer the full orchestral experience to our students. 🎻🎵

Our #SistemaInNorwich students make use of the @PracticeSpace_ app to track their practice time. We can share lessons through it, award prizes and incentivise our students outside of lessons. As we all know, practice is essential! Is your child signed up yet?

[Norfolk Community Arts (NORCA) @NorfCommArts]

Listening to the Youth Orchestra play downstairs as I cover the Saturday shift, and to these untrained ears, they sound amazing. #SistemaInNorwich

[Norfolk Community Arts (NORCA) @NorfCommArts]

A reminder that our friends Clarinet Cascade are performing at Hethel Church on Sunday 20 Nov, 2.30pm, and are donating half the proceeds to us! 🙏🙏 And there'll be cake! 🎵🍰🎵
