NYO performs HandsFree, composed by Anna Meredith with choreography by David Ogle

As one of the PRS For Music Foundation's New Music 20x12 commissions, HandsFree by Anna Meredith, with choreography by David Ogle, has been a feature of the NYO's repertoire throughout 2012 -- from its premiere at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in January, to flashmob performances in motorway service stations and shopping centres, to the New Music 20x12 weekend at London's Southbank Centre, part of the London 2012 Festival, which is captured here. NYO joint principal percussionist Kizzy Brooks sums up the work from the players' point of view: "HandsFree has been a fantastic journey this year; showing the NYO in a completely new, fun and accessible light. One of the really great things about it is that it bridged any possible gaps within the orchestra and also enabled players to get to know even more people in other sections, which in turn helps the overall teamwork and enhances our playing greatly. I have especially enjoyed being a team leader, which meant leading group rehearsals and teaching the piece, and these skills will definitely help me later on my career. HandsFree is perfect for the NYO as it requires huge amounts of skill and concentration but also shows our virtuosity and musicianship!"
