The 21c Global Orchestra

Young musicians from leading music conservatoires across Australia, Austria, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, The Netherlands and the USA join students from the RNCM to explore the potential of what an orchestra can be in the 2020s, bringing together singing, improvisation and pieces with flexible instrumentation.
