Cadenza has continued to grow and provide even more opportunities for our young musicians. Now with 17 ensembles and classes catering to over 150 pupils from Ealing and beyond, and with manageable monthly rehearsals, Cadenza is the chosen music centre for many young musicians in West London.
Our ensembles rehearse monthly on a Saturday at Grange Primary School, Ealing. The centre opens at 9:00am and our ensembles and classes run from 9:30am throughout the day until our last rehearsal finishes at 5:30pm.
