Players from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE) are embarking on their most ambitious education project ever, Anthem for a Child in this Olympic year, passing on the baton in sound to over 5000 children across the country, in an exciting year where music and sport come together.
Working across the country in 9 different locations from Devon to York, the OAE will bring a series of teacher training, workshops and concerts to thousands of children and students of all ages. Building partnerships, the programme has been specially tailored to each area and is focused on musical engagement as well as the creation of a musical legacy within the community long after the Anthem project has finished
The Anthem for a Child project will also be touring schools in a series of concerts from 19 to 27 March, giving children and their families across the country the chance to join together to perform a fanfare and an anthem with OAE musicians, specially commissioned pieces written by composer James Redwood and learnt over the term in class by the children.
