The public will be able to sit amongst the horn players, perform in the percussion section and take up the baton and control sections of the Orchestra as they play”.

Now we’re doing just that.”
Re-Rite will be open 3-15 November from 10am – 6pm (8pm Thurs & Fri).
You’ll also be able to experience it online from 3rd November onwards!!
