On Sunday 30 May 2010, London Sinfonietta musicians and a group of young people drawn from a cluster of local Stowmarket Primary Schools will showcase brand new music. The groups will work together in a 4-day project to create the new work which will be performed as part of the Stowmarket Festival. Alongside the new music, will be performances of existing repertoire by the London Sinfonietta.

In August 2010, the ensemble will be working in Newmarket in a unique cross-arts project with ‘lads’ and ‘lasses’ from the horse-racing centre Newmarket. Thousands of young men and women come to Newmarket from all over the British Isles for the racing season to be part of the buzz that takes over this town, and get involved in the vibrant racing scene. This project will give this community a chance to share a glimpse of their unique lifestyles, by creating new music and artwork that reflects the world they live and work in.
