The concert’s title, “Kisoboka” is Luganda for “it’s possible” and represents both an artistic statement and an attitude. In concerto grosso form, music becomes a dialogue – between soloists and orchestra, between continents and musical languages, between different educational contexts.
The symphonic sound of a European youth orchestra meets the rhythmic, emotional expressiveness of African wind ensembles – on equal terms and in a vivid exchange. The programme features Guy Barker and Alan Fernie’s “Concerto grosso for Brass for Africa and Orchestra” as well as great classic and modern film music, including works by John Williams, Richard Strauss, Edward Elgar and Samuel Barber.
Before the concert, there will be a day’s varied programme of events including workshops, a photography exhibition, a film screening and performances by pupils. Get to know rhythms from Uganda, experience music education through moving images, and chat with the artists.
