The Stables Music Week

We have had to take the difficult decision not to go ahead with the Stables Music week

We are very sorry for the disappointment this may to anyone who has already applied to take part.

Our primary aim was to make the Music Week a good musical experience for participants. In order to do that we needed to attract a minimum number of participants and a spread of different instruments. We also need to cover the costs of the week and as a charity operating on incredibly tight budgets, we have to make sure we are making best use of our resources.

Unfortunately we have not received enough applications to make the Music Week viable, either as a good musical experience or making best use of our resources.

We had to make a decision by end of May in order that we can give participants, families, tutors and everyone as much notice as reasonably possible and also not to leave us with costs we couldn’t recover.

The Music Week was inspired by the previous residential Music Camps and the strong wish to provide an opportunity for local young musicians in the summer.  Unfortunately, it hasn’t taken off as well as we hoped, but we will keep on trying to find other ideas that will work and bring other opportunities to our area in future years.

With thanks for your understanding

The Music Week team
