Journey of a Thousand Wings off to a flying start!

The day started with a little getting-to-know-each-other and thinking of ideas for the big Queen’s Hall performance- a distinct theme of pyrotechnics at some point! Nigel then had us singing and tapping out East African polyrhythms, Indian song cycles and Chinese village songs. After a biscuit or two we then split into instrumental sections and worked on composing a small motif or groove around a country specific theme.

Reformed as an orchestra again each section played their ideas and gradually Nigel expanded each country, taking us all on a musical trip around the world. Ernesto and Tomas from Transatlantico certainly took their group on direct flight to Chile! Watch a wee snippet of a video here…
