Donate to Severn Arts & Encore Orchestra Tour to France

Help us fundraise for our orchestra tour to Rouen, France, in 2026!

Severn Arts is the Hub Lead Organisation (HLO) for the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Music Hub and, together with Encore Enterprises, is dedicated to providing high-quality music education and performance opportunities for young people across both counties.  

Our mission is to nurture and inspire the next generation of musicians, offering access to a wide range of ensembles and educational programmes that enable young talent to thrive.

Following the success of our 2024 tour to Palencia, Spain, we are thrilled to be embarking on a new international venture, this time taking even more young musicians with us!

Our 2026 tour to Rouen will bring together musicians from several outstanding ensembles, including the Worcestershire Youth Orchestra, Concert Band, Jazz Orchestra, Concert Orchestra, and the Herefordshire Youth Orchestra.

These talented young musicians will perform collectively as the Herefordshire and Worcestershire ‘Tourchestra’, presenting an exciting and diverse programme that blends orchestral classics, jazz favourites, and popular music to showcase the passion, skill, and creativity of our fantastic performers.

This tour offers a remarkable opportunity for young people to perform for international audiences, build lasting friendships, and immerse themselves in French culture, all while playing in beautiful venues.

Your support will help ensure it becomes an experience they will remember for the rest of their lives.
