A new school year is here and we’re looking forward to welcoming children and young people back to Glasgow CREATE!

Our City Music Groups return from the week beginning 31 August, bringing together young musicians from schools across Glasgow to rehearse, perform and make music together.

Enrolment for 2026/27 is now open.

There are opportunities for young musicians at different ages and stages – whether you’re taking your first steps into ensemble playing, looking for more opportunities to make music with others, or are ready for one of our more advanced groups.
