Chetham's School of Music
Overview
The thriving creative community at Chetham's involves around 300 students aged 8-18, whose common passion is music. Entry to the School is based solely on musical ability or potential, never on background or ability to pay, thanks to generous bursaries through the Government's Music and Dance Scheme. This common bond of musical passion makes for a truly inspirational place which transforms the lives of all who are part of it. Public events include daily free Lunchtime Concerts, regular concerts by the School's ensembles, including choirs, orchestras and Big Bands, and public masterclasses with some of the leading artists from across the music world. Many events are free of charge for students and under 18s, spreading the School's commitment to musical education beyond its classrooms.
