Two Day Visit

A Project String Quartet School Visit is a two day project working with an International Artist and a Young Professional Quartet, featuring a formal evening concert and up to a further four activities of your choosing across the two days.

PLanning Your Visit

Our team are on hand to provide any help that you need in creating the best experience possible for your students. Throughout your project, experienced music educationalist and International Artist Graham Oppenheimer will be in close contact with you to provide guidance and assist in the smooth running of each visit across the course of the residency.

To give you an idea of the structure of a school visit, below is an example of a two-day schedule. The timings of each activity can be tailored to fit around your school timetable. Please note that on the day of the formal evening concert, the morning or the afternoon session will be used to string quartet rehearsals.
