The Purcell School Symphonic Wind Orchestra comprises about 30 young musicians from the school’s Woodwind, Brass and Percussion Department, and is led by Mike Cavanagh. The department is supported by specialist tutors who are themselves distinguished performing artists.

The Purcell School is a lively, vibrant and energetic community of young musicians united by a shared passion for music. It is home to around 200 teenagers from all over the world and has a longstanding international reputation for excellence. Thanks to the government’s Music and Dance Scheme, the school breaks down barriers, ensuring that young musicians of significant potential have access to a world-class music education regardless of their financial circumstances.
