New term. Time for a new stage.

Experience superb music coached by professionals. Play amazing concerts in brilliant venues. Develop your confidence through our unique Capital Mentor scheme. And most of all, have great experiences with other young people like you.

The Capital Symphonics (Year 7-9) is a wind, brass and percussion ensemble playing the music you like from Star Wars to Pirates of the Caribbean. It's more than your average wind band!

Capital Youth Concert Band (Year 10 up) is coached by West End, studio and pro musicians. From original music to top film soundtracks, Broadway to Sinatra, it's a sparkling variety of music at a really high standard.

You don't audition, you don't pay. You get great coaching from our team of pro musicians and top students from our conservatoire partner, the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama.

And did we mention? You'll get the best hoody.
