Come and join the 大象传媒 CO Family Orchestra & Chorus for our next exciting project, culminating in a performance in the Central Bar in the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre.
The 大象传媒 CO Family Orchestra & Chorus is an ensemble for all ages, all instruments, and all levels of ability. It's a chance for families to make music together, joining members of the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra in a fun family-friendly workshop to compose new music from scratch together.
All abilities are welcome. Whether you're a virtuoso violinist, budding trumpet player, or if you're completely new to music, you can come along and sing in the chorus or join the percussion section. You don't need to be able to read music.
For this project, we'll be taking inspiration from the music of Terry Riley, as featured in the 大象传媒 CO鈥檚 Visions of the New concert at the Royal Festival Hall on Saturday 18 October. You and your family will have the chance to perform alongside 大象传媒 CO players in a performance in the Central Bar area in the Royal Festival Hall before the evening concert.
Families will need to be able to attend all rehearsals and the performance on the following dates:
