Located at Sherborne School for Boys and set in the pretty medieval market town of Sherborne in Dorset, the Sherborne Summer School of Music (founded in 1952) is the ideal venue for adult musicians of all ages and abilities to meet in a friendly, supportive atmosphere and enhance their skills through the help of our dedicated internationally celebrated teachers.

Sherborne School is full of musical potential with its state-of-the-art music school, a theatre, recital and concert halls and a wealth of rehearsal spaces. In addition, we are fortunate to have the opportunity of presenting recitals and concerts in the beautiful Cheap Street Church and Sherborne Abbey.

Students have the choice of being resident or non-resident Accommodation is available in small dormitories, single and twin-bedded rooms. For those taking meals at the school, these are provided by an award-winning catering team who are pleased to assist those with specific dietary requirements.

Have a look at our 2019 Concertfest to view the thirty recitals and concerts given by both professionals and our students during the two weeks.

A brochure for 2021 will be printed later this year and will contain an application form. If you would like to reserve a copy, please complete the Brochure Request Form

UPDATE

The welfare, health and safety of those planning to attend our summer school of music is always our top priority and, because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we postponed the 2020 summer school of music until 2021.

In all respects, the 2021 Sherborne Summer School of Music is as planned for 2020, with the only exception being that it will now run from 1st to 15th August.

This website contains full details for our 2021 summer school of music and we are accepting applications via email, telephone or the on-line Enrolment Form.

We send our best wishes to you, our staff and students, both here in the UK and throughout the World, and pray that you may all stay safe and well.
