Are
you a musician aged between 16 to 24 years interested in creating high
quality music across a variety of genres such as jazz, urban, African styles,
world, folk, rock and many more? If so you are invited to audition for an
ensemble based at mac birmingham led by professional composer and
musician Sid Peacock and percussionist Ray Prince.
Throughout 2014
the group will meet on a weekly basis to rehearse
with a view to creating their own set of music, to be recorded and performed at
a major showcase at mac birmingham in Autumn 2014. It is hoped that
the ensemble will continue making and performing music beyond this year.
Alongside the
music making participants will be advised on the recording process, CD
production and design, marketing and self-promotion.
Musicians and
vocalists from all styles and backgrounds are invited and it is envisaged that
the musical identity of the group will represent the interests of all involved.
You should be confident on your instrument, to the equivalent of Grade 6, but
an ability to read music is not required. We are keen to meet young musicians
from diverse backgrounds with an interest in and aptitude for improvisation and
playing by ear.
