Podcasts about Paraorchestra

Het Paraorchestra van Charles Hazlewood is een bijzonder orkest, dat samengesteld is uit professionele musici, van wie een deel leeft met een fysieke functiebeperking. Op 13 juni bezoekt het orkest het Holland Festival in het Concertgebouw met het concert The Aanatomy of the Orchestra | Drone Refractions. Bijzonder is dat het publiek voor deze gelegenheid ook tussen de orkestleden kan rondbewegen, met of zonder rolstoel of andere hulpmiddelen. Hazlewood, die zijn loopbaan als veelgevraagd dirigent van toporkesten inruilde voor het exclusief werken met zijn Paraorkest, heeft hiervoor heel persoonlijke redenen. In deze podcast vertelt hij daar uitgebreid over. Het interview is in het Engels. Een paar van de belangrijkste citaten vatten we hier samen in het Nederlands. Wat is de beste manier om van muziek te genieten? Is dat thuis met een koptelefoon, met een geluidssysteem van een miljoen pond in een concerthal, op straat of in het midden van het orkest?"Als ik zou moeten kiezen, zou ik altijd zeggen dat de beste manier om muziek te ervaren is wanneer je er middenin zit. Het Anatomy of the Orchestra-project ontstond uit een ervaring die ik had toen ik zes jaar oud was. Ik was met mijn moeder naar een orkestrepetitie gekomen, en zat helemaal alleen in een enorm leeg auditorium naar een gigantisch symfonisch orkest te kijken dat aan het repeteren was. De dirigent zei op een gegeven moment: 'Je ziet er behoorlijk eenzaam uit daar beneden. Waarom kom je niet tussen ons zitten terwijl wij repeteren?' Ik ging bij de altvioolsectie in het midden van het orkest zitten. Niets had me kunnen voorbereiden op die waterval van prachtig geluid die op me neerdaalde. Mijn leven veranderde op dat moment. Sindsdien wil ik dat soort ervaring aan het publiek cadeau geven."Hoe combineer je de individuele vrijheid van muzikanten met de discipline van een orkest?"Mijn taak als dirigent is om een overkoepelende architectuur te creëren, een soort zeer veilige en toch vruchtbare en vrije plek, een structuur waarbinnen er dan bijna oneindige vrijheid is voor elke muzikant om het unieke van zichzelf in te brengen. Dus ja, er is discipline. Natuurlijk is er discipline zoals bij een legerpeloton, maar tegelijk ook zoveel meer vrijheid dan je ooit zou vinden in een legerpeloton."Dirigenten staan soms bekend als despoten. Hoe zorg je ervoor dat de noodzakelijke discipline binnen een orkest niet leidt tot excessen in leiderschap? "Voor mij gaat leiderschap absoluut niet over dwang. Dat is een soort oud, patriarchaal model van leiderschap, waarvan ik hoop dat het allang dood en begraven is. De grootste leider is naar mijn mening de grootste luisteraar. Leiderschap gaat over luisteren. Het gaat over het creëren van een platform voor andere mensen om te schitteren, omdat we meer zijn dan de som van onze delen."Hoe ontstond het idee voor Paraorchestra?"Ik heb vier kinderen en mijn jongste, prachtige kind werd geboren met hersenverlamming. In haar korte leven zette dat me aan het denken over die hele gemeenschap van mensen waar ik nooit eerder aan had gedacht. Ik begon me af te vragen: waarom heb ik in meer dan drie decennia dat ik orkesten over de hele wereld heb geleid, nooit een gehandicapte muzikant in een orkest gezien? In het VK identificeert 20% van de bevolking zich als gehandicapt. Dat is een enorme minderheid om over het hoofd te zien."Hoe verhouden aangepaste instrumenten zich tot de symfonische traditie?"Ik praat over het orkest als een voortdurende, moderne en toekomstgerichte traditie. We komen vast te zitten wanneer we orkesten alleen als bewakers van een traditie zien. Het orkest biedt het mooiste, en breedste spectrum in muziek. Er is geen reden waarom zoiets niet kan blijven ontwikkelen. Orkesten zijn bewakers van traditie, maar ze zijn ook het meest betrokken team dat mensen kunnen bedenken. Het is zo modern als de mensheid permanent modern blijft."Worden er nog steeds nieuwe instrumenten ontwikkeld voor mensen met beperkingen?"Er worden voortdurend nieuwe ondersteunende technologie-instrumenten uitgevonden, aangepast aan de specifieke behoeften, de sterke punten en de zwakke punten van een bepaalde musicus. Ik ben musicus, dus ik ben niet echt geïnteresseerd in hoe een stuk technologie in elkaar steekt. Ik wil alleen weten wat het kan doen."Hoe moeten muziekscholen en conservatoria omgaan met deze ontwikkelingen?"Ze moeten hun denken aanpassen en beginnen met het inhuren van onderwijzend personeel dat de verfijning en de kennis en de ervaring heeft van ondersteunende technologie. Het gaat er niet om of je wel of geen handen hebt. Het gaat erom of je geweldige muziek kunt spelen met welke middelen ook nodig zijn. Een van onze eerste klarinettisten is volledig doof, maar hij voelt de intonatie door de trillingen in zijn vingertoppen en speelt zuiverder dan welke klarinettist ook die ik ben tegengekomen."Waarom kies je voor drone-muziek in je Amsterdam-concert?"Drones waren voor mij een absoluut noodzakelijke bescherming toen ik klein was. Ik had een heel traumatische jeugd en drone-muziek was zo belangrijk voor me, omdat je een vast punt hebt, een vaste toon die niet zal opgeven, wat er ook gebeurt. De drone is de ultieme veiligheid. Het is het fundament dat ik miste. Ik denk dat dronemuziek altijd een speciale resonantie voor me heeft gehad. Dit concert staat in het teken van de eenvoudige en levensreddende kracht van de drone."Is Paraorchestra nu je enige werk?"Tijdens de lockdown leefde ik in mijn studio en was ervoer een enorme ik vrede en stilte. Ik bedacht dat ik niet meer op tournee wilde met al die andere orkesten omdat ik nu dit orkest heb, dat zoveel meer hongerig is naar verandering. Paraorchestra bezit moed en nieuwsgierigheid. Dit is een groep musici die wijd open staan voor elke nieuwe ervaring. Ze zitten niet vast aan een oud model, en ik ben er gelukkiger mee dan ik ooit in mijn leven ben geweest."Probeer je andere orkesten te bewegen om inclusiever te worden?"We hadden altijd een duidelijke keuze: we konden veel van onze energie besteden aan schreeuwen naar de industrie dat zij moest veranderen, of we konden de verandering zijn die we willen zien. Ik denk dat dat een veel betere manier is om je tijd te besteden. Het tempo van verandering is glaciaal: tergend langzaam. Dus ik ben liever de verandering die ik wil zien. Dat is wat we doen bij Paraorchestra."Dit is een gratis extra editie van de Cultuurpers Nieuwsbrief in het kader van het Holland Festival. Dat vindt dit jaar plaats van 11 t/m 29 juni 2025.

Extraordinary Bodies brand new musical production Waldo's Circus of Magic and terror, a co-production with the Bristol Old Vic and the Theatre Royal Plymouth is touring after premiering at the Bristol Old Vic with recorded audio description for blind and partially sighted people available at all performances.  Set in 1933 Brandenburg, the Nazis are burning books and suspending civil rights. Many are desperate to escape, but for Waldo and his travelling circus of outcasts, acrobats and aerialists, ‘the show must go on'. The cast includes a bold and diverse company of actors, musicians and aerialists to bring this daring tale of humanity, courage and defiance to the stage in Extraordinary Bodies inimitable style. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey was joined by Claire Hodgson, Co-Director of Waldor and two of the cast, Tilly Lee-Kronick who plays peter the down trodden ring boy, Waldo's son and Jonny Leitch a manual wheelchair user who plays Renay an aerialist performing on the trapeze who is the same age as peter to find out more about this brand new fantastic musical, circus, stage production. Claire began by telling Toby about the background to her company Extraordinary Bodies and the story behind the making of Waldo's Circus of Magic and Terror. Tilly and Jonny then gave a bit of an outline to their characters Peter and Renay along with how they worked together on an amazing trapeze scene in the show. Claire and Jonny then talked about the brilliant score and soundtrack to Waldo's Circus of Magic and Terror composed by Charles Hazelwood from the Paraorchestra and how the music is used to in some ways announce the appearance of characters on stage.  Toby ended the interview by asking Claire, Tilly and Jonny what they would like audiences to come away with from seeing Waldo's Circus of Magic and Terror.  Waldo's Circus of Magic and Terror is fully accessible to everyone with recorded audio described introductory notes, recorded audio description available at every performance along with captioning and BSL. There will also be the availability of touch tours for blind and partially sighted patrons too  as the production tours around the country until early June.  More details about the tour of Waldo's Circus of Magic and Terror along with venue details and dates plus more about Extraordinary Bodies can be found by visiting their website - https://www.extraordinarybodies.org.uk Image shows: A trapeze artist from the production swinging through the air with two officers watching to the left of the image (© Paul Blakemore)

Photo credit: Tom Zimberoff Ahead of this weekend's Tectonic's festival in Glasgow, Kate Molleson meets the pioneering electronic music composer at the centre of this year's programme, Janet Beat, and learns how the studios she inaugurated at universities in Birmingham and Glasgow – from the late 1950s – blazed trails for future generations. Following a performance of Matthias Pintscher's La Linea Evocativa at Wigmore Hall earlier this week, presenter Tom Service speaks to the American-Canadian violinist Leila Josefowicz about her life making music on the concert stage, her role championing contemporary repertoire for the instrument, and the inspiration she finds in Bach's mighty Chaconne. The composer Hannah Peel and conductor Charles Hazlewood join Tom to discuss their new album, The Unfolding. Written during lockdown especially for the Paraorchestra, the album has shot to number one in the classical music charts, and we hear from the musicians in the ensemble, Hattie McCall-Davies and Lloyd Coleman, as they tour with live performances of the project this spring. And, the composer Michael Zev Gordon tells Tom about his new chamber opera, Raising Icarus, which explores the harm parental expectations and aspirations can have on their children. It's staged by the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group this week.

Northern Irish composer Hannah Peel (Mercury Music Prize and Emmy nominee) has come together with the ground-breaking Paraorchestra to create a new album, The Unfolding. For In The Studio, we discover what lies behind Hannah's creative vision: as thoughts of deep time and our shared roots as human beings in the universe swirled around her mind, she found the genesis of the project. We hear how the idea developed out of Hannah's early melodic sketches and how it bloomed from there to celebrate Paraorchestra's progressive approach to what an orchestra should be - mixing analogue, digital and assistive instruments with a unique ensemble of disabled and non-disabled musicians. As the record finally comes out into the world, we discover what it took to record it in morsels of time over three years, in the midst of a global pandemic.

In celebration of all things Braille for World Braille Day 2022 (Tuesday 4 January 2022) Connect Radio's Toby Davey chats with blind singer Victoria Oruwari to find out what Braille means to her and how Victoria might be celebrating the life of Louis Braille on World Braille Day. Victoria is a blind singer who has performed on stage with many orchestras including the Paraorchestra, and the Inner Vision Orchestra just to name a couple.  Victoria began by telling Toby about learning Braille at a very early age at school in Nigeria and how she picked Braille up very quickly too. Victoria shared with Toby how she uses Braille on a day-to-day basis, telling the time through her Braille watch, labelling all her lipsticks in Braille to ensure she has the right one to match her make up and how she uses Braille music when rehearsing for performances and concerts. Victoria says she will be celebrating World Braille Day by baking a cake and using chocolate buttons to write out in Braille on the cake ‘Happy Birthday Louis Braille'! The RNIB website and shop have a wide range of information and resources on learning Braille and more details can be found by visiting -  https://www.rnib.org.uk/practical-help/reading/braille-and-moon-tactile-codes To find out more about Victoria, her music and details of any of her upcoming performances do visit her website - http://www.victoriaoruwari.com (Image shows RNIB logo.

Victoria Oruwari is a blind singer who has performed on stage with many orchestras including the Paraorchestra, and the Inner Vision Orchestra just to name a couple. During the Covid lockdown Victoria was invited to sing at the famous BBC Maida Vale Studios for a Radio 3 concert during Disability Week and in-between the two songs she sang Victoria was also interviewed for Radio 3 time. The Producers of the concert liked Victoria's voice so much when they were interviewing her that they asked her whether she would like to present a programme on Radio 3. This was an opportunity Victoria could not miss and she quickly began working with the producers on her recent two part BBC Radio 3 programme ‘Music's Inner Vision'.   Victoria's two part Radio 3 programme ‘Music's Inner Vision' showcased  a number of blind and partially sighted composers and performers both past and present to provide greater awareness of how blind and partially sighted composers and musicians write music and perform. Connect Radio's Toby Davey caught up with Victoria to find out more about ‘Music's Inner Vision', how Victoria found the process of working with the Producers on the programme, how Victoria made her choices on which composer and performer to include in the two programmes and whether there were any surprises for her when doing her research for ‘Music's Inner Vision'. Victoria's two part BBC Radio 3 programme ‘Music's Inner Vision' is still available to listen again via the BBC Sounds App with part one available up till the end of Tuesday 28 December and part two available up til the end of Tuesday 4 January 2022.

The People's Orchestra open their doors to anyone in the West Midlands who wants play in their orchestras or sing in their show choirs. Being inclusive is part of their DNA.  There are around 11 million people with a disability in the UK - that's over a fifth of the population - but they are hugely under-represented in the music industry and in music education. So, are we ignoring many talented musicians who don't fit the standard mould? Disabled musicians face challenges like finding and buying the right instrument, accessing lessons and finding opportunities to perform. There are still concert halls in the UK where a musician in a wheelchair can't access the stage. Strictly Come Dancing's first deaf contestant, actor Rose Ayling-Ellis is changing perceptions around deaf performers and British Sign Language.  How can we make the music industry a more level playing field for disabled musicians?  Katie finds out when she chats to Klara Filip from The People's Orchestra; Andy Sandham founder member of The People's Orchestra and music teacher in Birmingham; and acclaimed musician and conductor, Charles Hazlewood, founder of Paraorchestra, the world's first fully integrated orchestra of professional disabled and non-disabled musicians. https://thepeoplesorchestra.com/ https://paraorchestra.com/ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

The murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993 and the subsequent police investigations threw up a lot of questions about institutional racism and corruption within the force. Another enquiry which began in 2006 was led by DCI Clive Driscoll, who decided to go right back to basics and investigate the crime anew. In a new three-part drama on ITV, Steve Coogan plays Driscoll and Hugh Quarshie plays Stephen's father, Neville. We speak with them both about the murder, the trial, the enquiry and what a drama like this can add to our understanding of a tragedy. Conductor Charles Hazlewood created the Paraorchestra 10 years ago, and in their first year of public performances they already ticked off playing at the 2012 Paralympics closing ceremony. It's the world's only large-scale ensemble of professional disabled and non-disabled musicians, which tackles the traditional and not-so-traditional. Charles Hazlewood and musician Tilly Chester explain the orchestra's past and future, and why Paraorchestra is such an important ensemble in today's musical world. The first series of dramedy Back To Life aired a couple of years ago, to wide spread acclaim. A new series has just begun on BBC3. Conceived, written by, and starring Daisy Haggard it tells of a woman who has just come out of jail after serving an 18 year sentence for murder. She returns to live in the town where the murder happened, trying to get on with her life: reestablishing relationships, suffering the derision of neighbours and avoiding confrontation. The new series launched last night and Daisy joins us to discuss writing a very dark comedy. Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Simon Richardson

Charles Hazlewood is a conductor and the founder of Paraorchestra, the world's first professional ensemble of disabled musicians. Once described as the Heston Blumenthal of orchestral music, Charles has spent his career challenging Britain’s musical palate, exploding boundaries and expanding our ideas about what an orchestra can be - and do. His repertoire encompasses Beethoven, Bruckner and Barry White, and his critically-acclaimed projects include more than 100 world premieres and the first orchestral headline performance at Glastonbury. Paraorchestra, the ensemble he established in 2011, reached a global audience at the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Paralympics. He also co-founded an opera company in South Africa, and its production of Carmen, with a mainly black cast, won international acclaim.
