Norfolk County Youth Orchestra (NCYO) is a symphony orchestra offering young people the opportunity to perform music of the highest quality, have lots of fun and develop their creativity. Our players enjoy making friends whilst learning team-work, leadership, time management and self-confidence. Applications are encouraged from players who have reached around grade 6+ standard and bursaries are available with the support of Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Friends of Norfolk County Youth Orchestra (FNCYO), a registered charity.
The musicians will present a live concert experience, introducing 18th century instruments including the harpsichord, recorder family (ranging from the tiny garklein to the enormous bass recorder) and the violin and cello. Pupils will immerse themselves in Handel’s world, with sight, smell and sound, exploring the many parallels between his life and ours, engaging a deeper, lasting understanding and appreciation of the period and his music.
Brook Street Band is named after the London street where composer George Frideric Handel lived from 1723-59. The Band was formed in 1996 by baroque cellist Tatty Theo and rapidly established itself among the UK’s leading Handel specialists, winning grants, awards and broadcasting opportunities from various organisations including BBC Radio 3 and the Handel Institute. The band has established its own critically acclaimed biennial music festival, love: Handel, in Norwich, which is completely dedicated to Handel’s music, and fuses several of the Band’s passions: working with young people in schools, and extending chamber music and concert links within this community.
At the meeting there will be an opportunity to hear more about Make Music Day and plans for 2020, discuss ways to get involved, network and form partnerships.
Make Music Day takes place across the globe on 21 June annually. Started in France in 1982 as Fête de la Musique, this celebration of music now takes place in over 120 countries on the summer solstice. It is a DIY festival of music and anyone can perform or organise an event. Events take place in venues and public spaces – from town squares to libraries, bandstands to school halls, pubs to train stations – all are free to attend.
(Numbers are limited so advance booking is essential).
