Hallé Orchestra at Darlington Hippodrome
Young Darlington Musicians To Compose And Perform
Own Piece Of Music With World Class Orchestra
As part of the
Darlington Concert Series co-produced by Orchestras Live and Darlington
Hippodrome, a creative project is being held for young musicians from local
Secondary schools who will compose their own piece of music to perform with the
Hallé Orchestra at Darlington Hippodrome.
In workshops led by experienced Hallé musicians and
Orchestras Live/Spitalfields new trainee music leader
Alice
Phelps, a short 5 minute piece is being devised that
combines the participants and Halle musicians as an ensemble.
Hallé musicians and Alice are working with young guitar players at Haughton
School in Education Village and Longfield Academy to explore the themes,
structure and musical ideas of the Rodrigo Guitar Concerto.
A final workshop will take place on Tuesday 7th
January at Longfield Academy in Darlington before rehearsals in the Hippodrome
on Thursday 9th January culminating in the new piece opening
the Halle’s concert at Darlington Hippodrome that evening, performed by the
young musicians alongside those from the Hallé and soloist Craig Ogden. The young people will be given free tickets
to attend the rest of the concert, so they have the opportunity to experience
the full orchestra perform and hear the music used as the inspiration for the
project performed live by international guitarist Craig Ogden.
The Hallé Orchestra perform
at Darlington Hippodrome at 7.30pm on Thursday 9th January.
