Welcome to the Balcarras School music page. Each year we showcase some of the musical talent from our students and ensembles here at Balcarras School. The Balcarras Music Department is a thriving creative hub and welcomes all students at whatever stage of their musical journey, whether as part of the core curriculum, as an exam subject or as part of the rich tapestry of extra-curricular opportunities on offer here.
