The Orchestrate! Project is a youth orchestra aimed at young musicians that perform at a grade 4 standard and above. I joined the orchestrate project in October, 2018. As a member of The Orchestrate! Project, I have performed in a variety of concerts, including; The Festival Of Remembrance held at The Hippodrome Circus. The Orchestrate! project is run by musical director, John Stephens. John has a lot of musical experience as a musician, conductor and teacher. Performing with The Orchestrate! Project has definitely increased my confidence and helped me to improve things such as timing and intonation.
I think this links with my creative enterprise because it is an orchestra and as an orchestral musician, I would be looking for work within orchestras and ensembles. In order to get a better chance of gaining work as a musician, experience is a key that can open many of doors. The music given to the young musicians of orchestrate is more challenging to that of other local orchestras, which helps both myself and the other musicians to develop our sight reading skills and develop into better musicians as a whole.
