Animate Orchestra – A great opportunity for our children!

Animate orchestra spend two days making some fantastic music from scratch with an ensemble of 36 young instrumentalists from Southwark, including traditional orchestral instruments, guitars, drum kits and laptops!

Our next course in Southwark takes place on Monday 18th & Tuesday 19th February 2013, at Walworth Academy

This course is open to all young instrumentalists years 5 – 8 living or going to school in the London Borough of Southwark. Any instrument can join (including young people who are interested in music technology), and Animate Orchestra is open players of any ability.

Animate Orchestra is a partnership project between Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, The London Philharmonic Orchestra and Lambeth and Southwark Music Services. It is a young person’s Orchestra for the 21st Century which gives young people a voice to create their own music in a unique ensemble. You can watch a video about the activities we do here: http://animateorchestra.org.uk/what-is-animate-orchestra/

The 2 day course costs only £16 (£5 if eligible for free school meals) and we hope this means that any young person in the Borough is able to participate.

The closing date for applications is Monday 4th February
