Sigur Ros: Glosoli (Orchestral Performance)

The Project

The project involved five Watford schools with each school having a role in participating in the concert as presenters, players, composers and singers.

This exciting concert included music by Sigur Rós, Arvo Pärt and Jocelyn Pook as well as compositions, arrangements and visual media (thanks to the involvement of BBC 21CC) created and performed by the school students themselves.

Conducted by Robert Ziegler, and presented by BBC 1Xtra's Iyare, the event was a unique musical experience for the young people involved, broadening and deepening their ideas about the orchestral sound world, and supporting and enriching their music making at home and at school.
