About us

Somerset Music runs an Advanced Strings Players Day twice a year, in March and October.

It was great to be able safely to hold Advanced Strings Day number 32 on 21 November 2021, and it turned into a very special day, even surpassing the last one before our enforced break, including a suite from The Lion King and a brilliant arrangement of Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

We now have a plan for Day number 33 on Sunday 20 March at Walton Village Hall (BA16 9LA), and unless we find ourselves with dangerous new Covid variants and new restrictions we shall hope to repeat November’s success. Of course we shall be observing the latest Safety Guidance from both Somerset Music and Walton Village Hall, and if the unthinkable happens your fees will be refunded.

Course Fee:  £19.00 (£18.00 for a second family-member attending)

Please complete the form by Friday 11 March.
