    Creative Improvisation

    The practice of creativity in music performance. Led by David Dolan, working with Mark Messenger, Drew Balch and Karin Greenhead, Aldeburgh Young Musicians will explore classical improvisation.

    The musicians will investigate interpretation and performance techniques, including active listening and communication, rhythmic work through body language gestures and performance-related movement.

    At the same time, our young percussionists will work as part of a mini 'residency', exploring ensemble, individual and orchestral repertoire with Sam Walton.

AYM Exchanging Worlds Ensemble

The Aldeburgh World Orchestra Project

The AWO project brings emerging professional musicians from all over the world to Suffolk; to inspire, engage and perform; raising ambition and celebrating talent on a local to international level, as part of the London Cultural Olympiad in 2012

AYM Exchanging Worlds Ensemble

As part of Exchanging Worlds we will also establish a creative performance ensemble made up of exceptional young musical talent (under 18's) through Aldeburgh Young Musicians (AYM). This commissioning ensemble will be cross cultural and cross genre in content. Through collaborative working and the exchange of global musical conversations, new works will be created for performance at Snape Maltings and regional touring. 

Alongside the ensemble AYM Composers will compose a fanfare for members of Aldeburgh World Orchestra, experiment with remote interactivity and take advantage of AWO mentoring opportunities. Finally, two young musicians will join AWO.

Exchanging worlds has been funded by Legacy Trust UK, an independent charity set up to help build a lasting cultural and sporting legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games across the UK.
