In partnership with Orchestras Live, BBC Concert Orchestra and James Redwood, Norfolk Music Hub are able to offer an exciting collaborative project to support composition work in secondary settings.
Building on the initial Share Sound project in 2020-21 and working alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra with their 3 year residency in Great Yarmouth, this new project will support music creativity in Norfolk schools through a series of workshops and CPD led by James Redwood, in which an inclusive ensemble formed from young musicians (Year 10), music teachers from schools, Music Service instrumental tutors and players from the BBC Concert Orchestra will compose and perform music together.
Beginning and ending with an intensive period of workshops, the project will span several months in which students, teachers and tutors will continue the composition work in their own schools, supported by periodic CPD sessions led by James.
The hybrid online / in-person project will culminate with a live performance by the entire ensemble of the new collaborative piece that has been created. A video learning resource will form part of the legacy to help support continued creative musical work in the schools. All instrumentalists studying in year 10 are welcome to take part in this project.
