As those of you following the project will know Salford City’s very own orchestra the BBC Philharmonic are one of the partners in 
the project. This week they kindly invited the young people and musicians from Rawchestra to rehearse in their fantastic broadcast space, the legendary Studio 7 on Oxford Road.
As you can see it was a big space for 30 musicians but the sound more than filled the space with all enjoying the experience. We are now only one week away from the final performance at Salford Lads club on Sunday 22nd November 2009 @ 7.00pm. It’s by invite only but we have a few tickets spare. If you want any please e-mail matthew@cdhcreatives.com
(See video) but more importantly than that it has been a hub of the community for over 100 years and still is to this day. The place drips with history and the dedication and energy of those working there is evident to all.
CDH Creatives working with the BBC Philharmonic and Rawchestra this new orchestra is made up of a combination of traditional orchestral instrumentalists, drummers and percussionists, guitarists, keyboard players, singers and any body else that turns up, to create a totally new performance repertoire in response to young peoples films and vision of Salford.
Like much of today’s music it was a social commentary of its time and will act as a starting point for the Rawchestra to create a soundtrack that will work alongside a series of contemporary moving images of Salford, that will be created by young people.
