Education Programme


Ensemble Bash are skilled educationalists, whose experience and ability led them to being chosen as the featured artists in the BT/NFMS Making More of Music tour early on in their career (1995). The tour had the aim of encouraging access to music and the arts through an increased awareness of the role of music in the development of self expression.

Ensemble Bash have run summer school courses at both the Dartington and Aberystwyth International Summer Schools plus projects for COMA and numerous education projects around the UK. The Ensemble Bash children’s concert, devised as ‘edutainment’, has also received wide acclaim for its audience participation and demonstrations of Latin American and African music.
Ensemble Bash’s ability to link African music with the most contemporary of music, without resorting to being token or patronising, clearly has huge potential for outreach work.

Education Concerts and Workshops

The 'World Tour’ concert focuses on the music of West Africa and South America. Not only is the music of tremendous importance in its own right, but the linking of these musics, and drawing parallels between the two, brings in many extra-curricular points such as the slave trade and the music lines that can be traced around the world.

In addition, we have a workshop available for smaller numbers, 'Shake, rattle and Bash’ in which ethnic percussion styles and composition methods are explored. Both the workshop and concert are adaptable for all ages.
