ORCHESTRATING CHANGE – the documentary about Me2/Orchestra
www.orchestratingchangethefilm.com
ORCHESTRATING CHANGE wants to share The Swan Project. Cameron Chiu and Brandon Cheng, brought together 24 student cellists from all over the world to play “The Swan” from Saint-Saëns’s The Carnival of the Animals. They wrote: “It is a piece of cello repertoire that harnesses simplicity and beauty in a language that speaks directly to the soul. In this unprecedented time of COVID-19 gripping the world, our bodies may be in different places, but our souls can still unite through music.”
What does an orchestra do when they cannot physically get together to rehearse? Me2/Orchestra’s Maestro Ronald Braunstein and Executive Director Caroline Whiddon have been holding virtual meetings via Zoom to keep spirits up.
