Stentor instruments are helping young people to experience string playing at first hand. The London Philharmonic Orchestra runs Have-a-Go sessions after its family concerts at the South Bank, London and Stentor is delighted to have loaned the instruments for this opportunity. Enthusiastic children, the youngest only two years old, queue up after every concert to 'have a go' on a Stentor violin, cello or double bass, often for the very first time. Tutors offer advice on how to hold and play the instrument and answer questions.
 




The LPO is developing future audiences by bringing the next generation to concerts and giving them direct contact with classical music. Stentor is proud to be a part of this project.





Stentor Violas help NCO Project


The National Children's Orchestra (NCO) is a major youth orchestra responsible for training and encouraging the orchestral players of the future. The dwindling number of viola players joining the orchestra has given great concern and in response the NCO has launched its latest initiative to recruit young viola players at this year's summer school. Stentor is pleased to have supported the NCO by loaning a number of small size Stentor violas to this worthwhile Viola Project.

During the week's course, over 30 young violinists were given introduced to the viola and given dedicated viola tuition. At the end of the week they performed on Stentor violas in a concert and experienced playing the viola in a full orchestral environment. It is hoped that many will become viola players in the NCO and other orchestras through this practical training.
