The Music Service enjoys close working relationships with many external organisations, including the Ulster Youth Orchestra, the Ulster Youth Choir, as well as the instrument makers Besson and Jupiter. These contacts help provide regular masterclass and workshop opportunities for our instrumentalists at all levels.
