Oxfordshire County Youth Orchestra is one of three ensembles, two orchestras and a windband, who meet every Saturday morning at the Centre for Music in Oxford, the home of Oxfordshire County Music Service. 250 of the County's most talented instrumentalists come together in these ensembles, share their talents and enjoy socialising. The County Youth Orchestra is the more experienced of the two orchestras and they perform the most demanding of orchestral repertoire in a variety of concert venues in this country and abroad. As part of their annual schedule, twice a year the orchestra performs four concerts attended by 2,400 primary school children from across Oxfordshire.
We Met Today is a devised piece based on the Latin influenced folk tune Fiddle Castro’s Return to Galway which was written by director Joe Broughton. All the musicians learnt the basic melody by ear in advance but only met for the first time when they arrived today at the Royal Albert Hall for the Schools Prom. The energy of bringing together these fantastic young musicians to create original music will make for a truly memorable performance. The beauty of We Met Today is that it’s a truly spontaneous piece which means the performance at the Schools Prom will be unique.
