Formed in January 2018, BSO Resound is the world’s first disabled-led ensemble as part of a professional orchestra’s core activities.
Under the baton of their conductor and artistic director, James Rose, BSO Resound have gained high profile international attention for their ground-breaking performances and advocacy for equality, changing peoples’ perceptions of what disability is and what disabled people can achieve.
“Our aim is simply to be treated as a professional ensemble who happen to be disabled. We want to be compared with other groups musically, not to have people say: ‘It sounds OK but they’re not the same.”
The ensemble has a range of repertoire, including arrangements of well-known classical works and new commissions written specifically for the founding members of the ensemble.
