We are delighted to share with you a truly extraordinary project which puts new commissions and the power of community collaboration at the forefront of shared music making.
This new collection of ten flexible ensemble works - the second in the highly regarded Many Voices series - includes new work from a diverse roster of leading composers working in collaboration with 8 -10-year olds learning music through Music Masters’ award-winning Schools Programme.
Composers include Abel Selaocoe, Aileen Sweeney, Blasio Kavuma, Sir James MacMillan CBE, Jasmin Kent Rodgman, Roderick Williams OBE, Rūta Vitkauskaitė, Sonia Allori, Tom Coult and Tom Poster.
The project is designed to champion the joy and community of making music together, particularly in response to the sense of isolation felt by many during the global pandemic, whilst shining a spotlight on children and young people’s creative potential, and the ability of educators and artists to nurture it. It also responds to the relatively limited availability of high quality, flexible contemporary ensemble repertoire available - particularly for learners - but also for instrumentalists of all ages and stages. Through the support of Arts Council England and SCOPS Arts Trust, the collection will be made available to school-age learners for free digital download from autumn 2023, as well as being on general sale.
Composer Aileen Sweeney said: Being a part of this project really has been something special. When I was working with the children on this piece, you could just see how delighted they were to be thinking creatively, working collaboratively and having their ideas heard. It just shows how important music is in providing a well-rounded education. The workshop was honestly such a blast. To quote one of the kids, "I wish we could do this every day!"
Many Voices: Ensemble receives its world premiere performance at Wigmore Hall on 17th March 2023 in a free lunchtime concert by Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective, whose renowned musicians include Tom Poster and Elena Urioste, long-standing Music Masters Ambassadors. The concert will also feature performances by children learning violin and cello with Music Masters.
