SOUND OUT 2025

Our annual concert for schools

Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall, London

Book

Our annual schools concert is back - join us for an interactive, whistle-stop tour of new music and composition! 

London Sinfonietta musicians and the Sound Out Young Ensemble explore how to compose and create new music, led by presenter Patrick Bailey. Listen to pieces by living composers, join in with the performance and hear new work by young people who have taken part in Composition Challenges.

The concert will begin at 11am and will last approximately 45 minutes. It is ideal for pupils in Key Stage 2, but all are welcome. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for further information, or, if you'd like to speak to one of our team, get in touch on getinvolved@londonsinfonietta.org.uk

As soon as we entered the hall our pupils were in awe of the space, they loved hearing the London Sinfonietta players live and the song at the end pulled the whole concert together, it made the children feel like they were part of something special and could make new music! Teacher, Sound Out 2024
