Welcome to O1 FEST! – Orchestra ONE Project 27, August 2021
In August 2021, Orchestra ONE (O1) returned for its 27th project and our first one face-to-face in nearly two years! It was absolutely wonderful to see so many familiar faces and to hear our young musicians making live music again.

‘Notification, Conversation, Celebration’ – Orchestra ONE’s 26th Project
Following the success of our first ever virtual Orchestra ONE (O1) course back in October, we were thrilled to welcome 17 young musicians who joined us via Zoom for Project 26. Our participants spent the second week of the Easter holidays composing a brand new piece on the topic of “Communication”.

Orchestra ONE – Project 25: “The Food That We Share”
2020 was a challenging year for all of us. For Orchestra ONE (O1), it meant that we were unable to hold our usual projects in the Easter and Summer holidays. However, in the October half term our fantastic participants and inspiring tutors came together for our first ever virtual O1 course. It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces again after nearly a year apart, and even better to welcome new participants to the O1 family.

Now That’s What I Call Orchestra ONE!
We’ve been thinking about all of the incredible compositions that have been created from these projects and our superb Sound Engineer, Tom Wood, came up with an idea – why not make an Orchestra ONE Greatest Hits album?! Tom has taken all of the best bits from the last two years’ worth of projects and re-edited these to create a playlist celebrating all of the ‘best bits’ from Projects 19-24.
