It is being hosted by Dumfries and Galloway Youth Orchestra and is open to all.
The event will be taking place at St Joseph’s High School in Dumfries from 10 until 1 pm with a short concert afterwards.
The Saturday morning event is for anyone between the ages of ten and 18 who plays an orchestral musical instrument. It will be led by the orchestra’s conductor; BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra violinist Jane Hainey, who will be supported by knowledgeable and professional tutors.
Orchestra chairman and ex-head of Music at Thornhill Wallace Hall Academy, Nick Riley said: “We really want to give an opportunity for any young people who have started to play an instrument but have never had the chance to experience the fun of playing together with others to come along and have a go. We have a great bunch of kids already who are ready to welcome in anyone who already plays and who fancies a go!
“We are a classical orchestra, so any instrument that you could find playing in the BBC Proms, we’d be happy to have! Go on, surprise us!”
Help with travel expenses is also available for any child attending.
