Frontiers Orchestra (2014)
The Frontiers Orchestra is a new, inclusive and accessible orchestra aimed at people aged 11 – 25 years old who play any instrument, at any grade or standard, including those with no music experience at all. The project will fuse orchestral, samba and electronic instruments, music and techniques to build a unique ensemble and engaging ethos inspired by community and creativity.
The first rehearsal will be on the 21st October at North Edinburgh Arts Centre in Muirhouse. If you would like to be a part of the orchestra, then fill in the Frontiers Registration Form and post it back to us at the address given.
The project is a collaboration with Oi Musica, and has been funded by Creative Scotland.
Taster Sessions
We are currently running taster sessions to give people an insight into the feel of the orchestra. If you are part of a school or organisation and would like to book an independent taster workshop then please do not hesitate to contact us.
