🌍Nextone Workshop by ORTE🎵
📍 Royal Academy of Music
📅 Sunday 1 March
How well do you know the culture of your own country: your personal roots, and the music that has grown from them?
The music we have heard since birth has been created, protected and passed down through generations.
Now, it is your turn to shape the future of that tradition🎶
This special cross-cultural workshop invites children and young people to bring a folk song or children’s song from their own heritage, and together, create something entirely new.
This is not simply a music workshop.
Guided by professional artists and using our specially designed ORTE Workbook, participants will discover new perspectives and co-create original music inspired by each other’s traditions.
