Introducing Thomas, who will be playing cello at our Classical Café: Young Musicians Showcase this Sunday 4th Oct! 🎻✨

Thomas has been learning the cello for nearly 5 years, and is part of the Yarm School Orchestra, Tees Valley Youth Orchestra and National Children's Orchestras of Great Britain.

Thomas said:
“I enjoy the variety of pieces that there are to listen to and to play, of all genres. I especially enjoy playing fast dynamic cello pieces which are exciting in character. I have recently enjoyed learning the Saint-Saëns first cello concerto which has exciting runs of notes and conveys a lot of emotion.”

The concert runs 3-4pm, at Middlesbrough Town Hall.
Tickets £8, free for under 16s (link in comments).

Today Middlesbrough Open Orchestra were joined by musicians Brendan Murphy and Hannabiell Sanders for an exciting workshop! 🎻🪊✨

The orchestra learnt a song from the soundtrack of 'The Guest', a show by Anthony Lo Giudice Dance, which is being performed at ARC Stockton Arts Centre next week.

They also shared one of their favourite songs 'One More Time' by Daft Punk.

The orchestra is a partnership between Musinc, Beverley School Community, Priory Woods School and Arts College, Ben Hopkinson Music Tuition, supported by Youth Music, Open Up Music, Tees Valley Music Hub, Middlesbrough Council and Middlesbrough Town Hall.
