Aside from being a cool initiative, The People's Orchestra shared their entire story leading up to the campaign on this 9-page forum thread.
[Working Title] - A new composition by EMMY & BAFTA award-winning film composer, John Altman, for The People's Orchestra
Please be aware if you just want to donate money to the project you can just pledge, but don't choose a reward!
At our 'The Snowman' Concert we found that many families had never seen an orchestra before, with some of the children (and adults!) having no idea what some of the instruments were. We did an impromptu introduction to musical instruments which went down a storm!
This year, we thought it would be great to have our own modern composition and we are extremely lucky and fabulously excited that John Altman has agreed to help us!
£14.500 may seem a lot for a new piece of music, but actually only 55% will go on the composition fee - rewards, fees and taxes account for the remainder. So please pledge today, get yourself a fabulous reward like #4 (2 hours of John's music for only £18, $29.50), and give our community, amateur, orchestra the chance to work with a major Hollywood talent!
And help us educate a generation brought up on MTV, YouTube, game and film music about musical instruments and how they work together within an orchestra.
