sinfonia ViVA with Mills and Chimneys

A collaborative singing and instrumental project

Wednesday 13th June 2012
Assembly Rooms, Derby
7.00pm Public Concert: Tickets - £5.00
Box Office: Derby LIVE on 01332 255800

Following previous successful collaborations, sinfonia ViVA join forces with the folk ensemble Mills and Chimneys to present a concert featuring both ensembles performing alongside young people from Derby and Derbyshire.

The participants will work with the combined Mills and Chimneys / ViVA team to create their own songs and instrumental pieces in response to a series of folk songs and tunes which have been collected, composed and arranged by the joint team for them to sing and play together.

The elements will come together in a massed celebration of all things Derby and Derbyshire during the performances – which promise to be unforgettable!

"...the evening really belonged to a bunch of enthusiastic, fired-up children who not only contributed their own enjoyable and often witty songs, but sang the often quite challenging music… with total confidence." – Mike Wheeler

This project has been supported by Rolls-Royce plc, Derby City Council, Derbyshire County Council, Orchestras Live, Derby LIVE, Fleet Arts, sinfonia ViVA and Arts Council England.
