SIDE-BY-SIDE with re:Sound 2026

For over nine years, Resound Collective’s chamber concert re:Sound has mostly performed without conductor.
This form of performance relies on every musician to fully understand their part in the music, to listen to each other, and apply their own musicianship, without the direction of a conductor. Playing in an orchestra without conductor is highly demanding, and helps to develop many useful musical skills.
We welcome young musicians to perform with re:Sound on 24 May 2026. We are looking for young orchestral musicians, aged 12-18 to join this concert. The selected musicians will perform side-by-side with re:Sound musicians. They will play in one or both these pieces, depending on space available:
-
Wojciech Kilar – Orawa for String Orchestra
-
Franz Schubert – Symphony No. 5 (complete)
The objective of this project is to share the experience and satisfaction that comes from performing in a chamber orchestra, where every players shares personal responsibility for the outcome of the performance. re:Sound musicians will guide and encourage the young musicians throughout the rehearsal process. Participants will also gain the experience of rehearsing and performing without a conductor, which demands a very high level of focus and commitment.
