Outreach and Community Projects

Buxton International Festival does not fi nish with its closing performance. Throughout the year we engage with people of all ages, across the High Peak, to provide opportunities to get involved in music and the arts. Much of this work is delivered through Platform 3, a learning and engagement initiative that is run in partnership with Buxton Opera House.

Make new friends, discover new art forms and become part of the Platform 3 family!

After School Singing Clubs

Platform 3 runs free afterschool singing clubs for children aged 8 to 14. Sessions are run by a professional conductor and musical director. They’re light-hearted and fun and are designed to give young people skills and confidence. Children involved have had the opportunity to perform and make new friends.

Kaleidescope Community Choir

If you love to sing then come and join our friendly Kaleidoscope Choir. From choral classics and favourite hymns to pop and folk, you don’t have to audition to be part of the choir. Just come along and join in.

School arts award

Arts awards sessions take place in schools. They support young people who want to get more involved with the arts and build creative skills. Each child who takes part achieves a national qualification.

Frozen

A fabulous fortnight for children aged 9 to 16 to rehearse and perform Disney’s Frozen JR on stage at Buxton Opera House.

Adult Readers Club

A light hearted and refreshing opportunity to explore new novels and plays or revisit your favourite ones. ‘Book Club’ runs every Tuesday during term time.
