Waveband

Waveband - a fantastic performance of music and dance was given its world premiere at the Arc, Stockton on Thursday 20th July 2006. Waveband was an Arts Council funded project that linked young people from across the Tees Valley with professional artists to explore new ways of composing, creating and performing music in schools. Tees Valley Arts worked with Branksome School, Darlington and Redcar Community College to realise a piece of music created by Branksome students and English Martyrs students in Hartlepool. 80 young musicians benefited from the Waveband
project as new approaches to GCSE composition were developed.
Project Co-ordinator Mike McGrother commented "Waveband is a piece of music which combines rhythm, harmony and experimentation rarely heard
played by those of a school age. Facilitated by Tony McNally and Danny Allinson, and a whole host of professional artists and educators, a picture of the River Tees was created for people to enjoy and appreciate". The film was made by Marcus Diamond. More information from www.teesvalleyarts.org.uk
