Orchestra from Scratch

Orchestra from Scratch is a new initiative that is open to any and all musicians, who wish to share the passion of making and exploring classical music with like-minded people. For this event, people are not only participating as listeners, but they are actually performing themselves, therefore supporting the JIMF’s commitment to bringing classical music to as wide an audience as possible. The workshop will be joined by a group of musicians from the World Doctors Orchestra. Details on the WDO’s concert at the Linder Auditorium (18.00h on 12 February 2012) can be found here >>.

Under the baton of Richard Cock the “Orchestra” will work on a programme of such familiar items as Sousa’s “Stars & Stripes”, Johann Strauss`”Radetzky March” and “Shosholoza” (arranged by Richard Cock), to name but a few, before the musicians take the grand stage for a concert at 15.00h.
