In York, York Youth Orchestra have not been deterred by the lockdown. They’ve recorded the Illustrated Hall of the Mountain King which proved a real challenge without a conductor! They wanted the project (like the originally planned family matinee concert) to be broadly inclusive so they encouraged children from York primary schools to visit the BBC Ten Pieces website, listen to the performance, read the short story they’d prepared and then draw, paint, sculpt their responses and send a photo of the results to York Arts Education. It wasn’t long before they had about 95 trolls, troll kings/princesses, mountains, caves and a few Peer Gynts thrown in – all from children aged 4 to 11. The joy of the project was how it engaged with such a range of children and young people and how effective simple ideas can be. As one parent said,
“My daughter was thrilled to see her artwork and hopefully she’ll be playing in the youth orchestra one day. Great to involve and inspire children through collaborations like this”.
