BBC Concert Orchestra Project at Callington Music

The Gifted & Talented Year 7 students had their first rehearsal on 24th May 2010

This term thirty five Gifted & Talented musicians in Year 7 have the opportunity to play with the BBC Concert Orchestra when they give two concerts for primary age pupils at Plymouth Pavilions.

The 60 piece orchestra have asked the Callington students to be the massed percussion section for a piece of Latin American music called Soul Limbo which will form part of their programme on 14th June.

The Callington young musicians will get to play to two audiences of about 2000 each time so they are working hard to get their contribution right. Members of the orchestra have only two rehearsals with the students before the day, but after our first rehearsal all involved are confident that the Callington year 7 students will be able to play their part to make the concerts a big success.
