Dundee Chamber Music has organised workshops with schools in Dundee and Angus since 2002. Information about past workshops can be found here. The workshops are an important opportunity to enthuse school age children in classical music. Meeting professional musicians shows the pupils the reward and real pleasure that can be obtained from playing an instrument, both privately and socially.
We work with schools in all of the communities of Dundee and 43% of our participants are from the most deprived areas in our city.
Schools Concerts
Since 2026 the talented musicians from Dundee Schools have performed an annual public concert to showcase what they have learned in our workshops
