NYO Inspire Days a success in Coventry this half term
It was wonderful to see and hear the NYO Inspire orchestra filling the theatre at Lyng Hall school during the half term holiday week.
The performances on Tuesday and Friday were inspiring and reflected the enormous amount of work that the Inspire orchestra, the supporting NYO musicians and the tutors and support team put into the two residentials. Both performances began with some devised, creative composition work from the orchestra and got the orchestra onto stage in NYO’s trademark creative way! Inspire musicians introduced the concert and told the audience a bit about what the music, and being part of NYO Inspire, meant to them. On Friday, members of Coventry Music’s String Ensemble joined the NYO musicians to take part in a day of creative music making, inspired by the music the Inspire orchestra was performing. It was great to see our own Joe Dore introduce the piece, and fascinating to see and hear the devised work that had come out of listening to the other student performers. We’re all really looking forward to the summer Inspire work and school takeovers now!
