Famous Last WordsbackAldeburgh Young Musicians, together with inspirational viola player Matthew Jones and composer Larry Goves, undertake a journey to discover the ‘late works’ written by composers towards the end of their lives.
Using these as a starting point, AYM composers and instrumentalists devise, rehearse and perform original works inspired by such pieces.
The journey will include work on improvisation, performance enhancement, wellness for musicians and an exploration of the life-journey of composers and the development of their music through their lives.
Open Session Saturday 10 April 3pm
Britten Studio, Snape. Tickets £5 (under 27s half price)

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.
