Geminiani Youth Orchestra
We are selecting young musicians in South West London for the re-opening of the Geminiani Youth Orchestra; the beginning of this musical journey will see the students participating in social services, in fact they will perform for hospices, centres for disabled people, or people in distress. Such an incredible experience will leave an important mark in their lives, and will help people in difficulty.
There are going to be short courses of 3 days; the first two days of rehearsals, and the third day the final concert. Each time the venue is going to be different, depending on the charity/organisation we are going to collaborate with.
At the end of the course we will donate them a stand-up piano tuned at 432hz, so they will have an instrument to have fun with, and we could come back and use it for further performances.
This is the first example in the world of a Youth Orchestra playing at 432hz; the frequency of the universe, the same frequency Giuseppe Verdi defended so much . Each student will have the chance to perform as a Soloist, as a Leader, and as a " Tutti", in order to be prepared for any position.
The fee is £50 per course.
