Concerts
This article explains how Greenwich Music School concerts work and how students take part in performances.
Every term, we celebrate our students’ progress and creativity through a range of performance events, across both Mycenae House and Charlton House venues. These concerts give students of all ages and levels the chance to share their music in supportive, inspiring settings. These concerts can be an excellent goal for students to work towards.
Entry fees are included in the lesson costs, so there is no additional charge for students to enter, and no charges for audience. We ask for donations in each concert, to support the work of the charity.
