Pro Corda SEN Programme
Opera Brava & the Pro Corda SEN Programme, Leiston Abbey
Pro Corda’s national programme for special educational needs aims
to enhance the senses, excite the imagination and increase social
development. It is the largest such programme in the UK.
Participants are given the opportunity to visit every corner of the worlds of music, dance and theatre working together as an ensemble and taking ownership of the collective creative process. Coaching is in small groups by some of the country’s leading professionals.
Creative skills are developed alongside social and behavioural skills with the emphasis at all time on ensemble preparation and performance, together with creative expression.
Opera Brava and Pro Corda have established a major partnership. Opera Brava delivers workshops on all aspects of the Pro Corda SEN Programme.
I have seen Opera Brava working with groups of young people and
have been really impressed with their skills of communication,
inspiration, musicianship and sheer professionalism. Terrific
entertainment, with a focus on enabling people to become involved and
enraptured.

Our young people's work with Pro Corda and Opera Brava lifted each
young person above the ordinary to taste, share and become the
extraordinary.
