In collaboration with Turner Sims’ The Vibe Collective, this project is aimed at creative young people aged 18-30 with an interest in designing and curating live music events.
This programme runs over multiple months and guides young people through the process of putting on their own concert with BSO musicians, from thematic scoping, programming to lighting, marketing and booking guest artists.
The pilot saw the creation of BSO After Dark, an immersive concert which blended film scores, transcendent classical works and original spoken word from Portsmouth artist Baby Panna. Together, seven musicians from the Orchestra and Baby Panna created a sonic journey themed around exploration, journeys within ourselves – and journeys far beyond our planet.
I want audiences to understand a new scope of music. For fans of contemporary classical to see spoken word in a new way, and for people questioning what the concert could bring to spark a new love. I want people to see that music, no matter the genre, can spark emotion in you.
