" The Ensemble aims to provide inclusive events ( workshops, seminars and email projects ) which aim to give a complete and involving experience for all participants. All events are an integral part of a day which culminates in a concert/event to which all are invited.
The work is sometimes preparatory in that it seeks to enlighten and make clear possibly challenging programmes ( e.g. email projects and seminars ), and sometimes more practical in that something is created which explores an aspect of the concert/event later the same evening (e.g. fractal prints and compositions).
We have worked with communities/general public ( e.g.Lastingham Day of Light ) and educationally specific groups ( Musical Time Machines/ Chaos of Rainbows concerts ). The Ensemble is committed to widening community participation and using music to bring people together in ways which remain in the hearts and minds of all long after the event."
We can offer workshops on a wide range of topics relating to music and sound. Our Fractal Workshop is an example of this, please click here for the documentation. The fractal and photographic images are also available from the Audio Visual resource.
Music workshops have included performance and discussion of student compositions, and open rehearsals, which are a vital part of every concert day.
