Little Missenden Festival

Bring music into children's lives! We need someone to coordinate our school workshops next year. They take place in February with a concert in March in Great Missenden. You'll liaise with 3 schools and book the musicians. Details from contact@little-missenden.org Please pass on

Little Missenden Festival funds music workshops for Year 2s at 3 state primary schools led by inspirational composer John Webb. Everyone had such fun today!
