We are delighted to announce we're are continuing our partnership with Deer Shed Festival this year with a return to this major Yorkshire based music festival 🎶

This exciting collaboration will once again provide real-work placements for our students, plus performance opportunities for emerging artists from the conservatoire.

Congratulations to Romy Taylor and Araya who have been selected to perform at this summer’s festival. Festival Manager Harriet McBain comments "we’re excited to be giving a platform to these two distinctive & promising artists, and supporting them in the next steps of their creative journey." 💙
