We are delighted to confirm that our next concert on 14th December will be given by musicians from JUTP Music. Please remember that this concert will take place in the Rougemont Room at Exeter Library.

JUTP Music is a unique youth group of string players that offers creative opportunities in musical performance and professional development. It was started in 2006 in Plymouth and since then 31 of their young musicians have gone on to read music and Arts related subjects at Conservatoire and University and many are professionally engaged in the Arts world as performers, sound engineers, teachers and music managers.

Through "Joined Up Thinking Projects", young music leaders from within South West Camerata are developing huge amounts of transferable life skills; mentoring, teaching, supporting, web design, stage management, sound engineering, creative lighting, arts management and performance development.

Ron Dawson is the author of the Scary Bones series of books one of which (Scary Bones Meets the Wacky Witches of Wareham) will form part of the mini BSO concert on 26th October. 

This is the fourth in the Scary Bones the Skelton Adventure series. In this adventure, Scary Bones, the Red String and Sasha and Ben enter the magical world of Wareham's Wacky Witches and the Wicked Wizard of Corfe Castle. The children of Wareham have disappeared and the town is littered with sleepy cats and no-one knows why. Can Scary Bones rescue Sasha and Ben from the spell of two very strange and unusual lollipop ladies and defeat the Wicked Wizard of Corfe Castle?

After a nine year career in industry and commerce, Ron Dawson trained as a teacher in his late twenties. Following his teacher qualification, he gained the awards of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy.

He authored a considerable number of academic and research articles, reviews and books and had his own column in a national magazine. On his 'retirement', Ron turned to writing fiction for both children and adults, including the increasingly popular 'Scary Bones the Skeleton' adventure series. His first adult novel, 'The Last Viking', was optioned to made into a film within a year of its publication. Born in Birmingham, he now lives in Dorset.
