Ulster Orchestra Workshop for P4–7

15th Oct 2025

What a fantastic musical experience today at HCB! The boys were thrilled to welcome 4 members of the fabulous Ulster Orchestra for a special workshop.

We learned all about the instruments of the orchestra, listened to some brilliant music, got to ask some questions and even played along with the musicians!

This inspiring session is sure to spark a love of music in many of our pupils. At HCB, we’re proud to offer opportunities for boys to learn a wide range of instruments, including flute, violin, guitar, brass, cello, and bassoon.

A huge thanks to Nigel (violin) Michael (trumpet) Jesse (French horn) and Neil (trombone) for playing for us and to Oran on sound. We loved it! ❤️

A special thank you to Mrs. Martin, our dedicated Music Specialist, for continually bringing such enriching musical experiences to our school.
