Dartington Summer Youth Programme is a summer festival of creative courses in music and music production especially designed for young people. A series of week-long, three-day and taster workshops are led by experienced professional artists and performers from the UK, supported by young emerging arts leaders from the South West.
Courses and workshops are offered at all levels and provide participants with the opportunity to work closely with a range of truly inspirational artists and ensembles, make new friends and create and perform exciting new work.
The programme for 2009 is now confirmed (see below!) and you can find out more on this site, book courses online or contact us in the DSYP office at KEVICC.
“Utterly fantastic and a real buzz. The week finished with an energetic, rousing gig. It was a real inspiration… hard not to dance” – Lizy Eames, FOLKWORLD 2008
