Play together
When Musica Fusion began in September 2015, only 20 of its first 40 students played orchestral instruments. They represented many ages and abilities—some had only just started—but the school formed an orchestra and carefully arranged the music so everyone could take part.
That inclusive approach continues across the school’s orchestras and ensembles, welcoming musicians from Musica Fusion and the wider locality.

Sing together
Directed by Úna Mc Glynn, the Adult Choir brings together singers of different levels and abilities in a friendly weekly rehearsal.
The original group met on Thursday evenings from 7.30–8.30. Please check the current timetable or contact the school before attending.
Musica Fusion’s teachers originally ran the Community Orchestra voluntarily and arranged pieces to include beginners alongside more experienced players. Junior and senior groups, mentoring and performances have helped young musicians grow in confidence together.
Five ways to play together
Each group has its own sound, age range and rehearsal style while sharing the same community spirit.
All ages & abilities
Carefully arranged parts allow new and experienced orchestral players to rehearse and perform together.
