LCAS Trustees and Members are proud of the LCAS Outreach project which introduces primary school pupils at Leatherhead Trinity School to the sights and sounds of a wide range of instruments, through live performances given by working professional musicians.
It also permits groups of secondary school pupils to attend a weekly concert with their teachers.
In addition to donations from audience members and visitors, and the top-up from the Gift Aid scheme, this project has had the benefit of support from Leatherhead-based legal practice Julie West Solicitor.
Below you will find news of the school visits we made over the year from June 2016 to June 2017.

Thursday 9th June 2016: brass ensemble Mardi Brass took their trumpet, cornet, horn, trombone, and tuba to demonstrate to Leatherhead Trinity School's pupils.
This was our first project with Trinity, in which the quintet told elements of the 'story of brass' - from animal horn and hollow stick to the modern slide and valve trumpet. Afterwards Mardi Brass performed the 12.30 lunchtime concert at Leatherhead Methodist Church, bringing the full 'Story of Brass' to an amused older generation! |
