PLAY.orchestra / About The Project

PLAY.music

The orchestra will play two different pieces each week - one a new commission from a young composer and one a piece from the classical repertoire.

The music you'll hear on the seats is made using samples from our free sample library - click here to find out how we made the pieces.




PLAY.contexts

PLAY.orchestra is the result of a collaboration between Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design MA Creative Practice for Narrative Environments, South Bank Centre Education and the Philharmonia Orchestra.  The instrument graphics were created by pupils from 6 Lambeth primary schools, who are working with the Orchestra on the MusicScape project.

We're grateful for the support of our site sponsor, BT, who through their work with us developing the Sound Exchange have enabled us to create the content for the orchestra.  We're also incredibly grateful to BT mobile and Samsung who have provided the handsets for our Saturday events.
