Aiming Higher - Project video

Aiming Higher was a unique collaboration between a diverse range of Luton’s young musicians and a team of professional artists from the orchestral genre. Composer John K Miles worked with five separate youth ensembles to create some new variations on the Carnival Suite, which he composed the previous year for more than 300 beginner instrumentalists from 19 Primary schools to perform with City of London Sinfonia. The latest project focussed on advanced ensembles – Luton Youth Jazz Orchestra, Luton Youth Concert Band and Luton Youth Cantores – and on newly formed groups – a steel band at Foxdell Junior School and a group of young people with additional needs using assistive music technologies at Lady Zia Wernher School. John spent time with each group, gathering their ideas and adapting the Carnival Suite material into a set of bespoke variations that illustrated the character and capabilities of the young musicians, combined with the orchestral forces of City of London Sinfonia. The new variations were premiered in two live performances on 17th July at the UK Centre for Carnival Arts for audiences of Primary school groups and the general public.
