Please find attached a flyer for the UK Music Careers Fair happening on Friday 10th March at New River Studios.

This will be an excellent opportunity for secondary school and college students to learn more about opportunities working in the music industry, with workshops in live sound, recording, radio production, song writing, and management. There will also be speakers from all areas of the industry, and a free lunch!

Talkies in partnership with Haringey Young Musicians and Heartlands High School are proud to present one of 100 international screenings of the original 1916 film with live orchestral score to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. Laura Rossi, the composer of the new score will introduce the film and music.

Somme100 FILM is an international project, working with The Imperial War Museums (IWM) as part of the First World War Centenary Partnership to mark the anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. The project aims to bring together 100 live orchestral performances of the iconic 1916 film The Battle of the Somme with composer Laura Rossi’s acclaimed score, commissioned by the Imperial War Museums.

The event launches a period of creative responses from Haringey’s young musicians in different schools to the score by Laura Rossi.

Part 1 – Dvorak – Carnival Overture; Rutter – Suite Lyrique; Kabalevsky -Cello Concerto in Gm.

Secondary music departments are invited to share in the Haringey Young Musicians Big Band Concert on Wednesday 29th March at Hornsey School for Girls.

The concert will be from 7.00pm until 9.00pm and we would be delighted if you could bring a group and/or soloist to perform for up to 10 minutes as part of the event. This would be a great opportunity to showcase any ensembles you have and give them a chance to perform in front of an appreciative audience.

The age range of the HYM Big Band is 11 to 18. If you are interested please email me as soon as possible with the details of your ensemble. We will plan a rehearsal schedule on the day from about 3.30pm. We may even consider a massed item to perform at the end, once we have a clear idea of who will be taking part.
