Able Orchestra Pioneers
We are proud to have been a key partner in the development of Able Orchestra, an inclusive ensemble enabling members to create and perform music on equal terms.
We collaborated with some of the founder members of the orchestra – Able Pioneers, and Orchestra of the Swan to provide creative opportunities for these young musicians to further develop their compositional skills with professional orchestral musicians, and explore fresh, innovative ways of presenting orchestral work.
