The Totally Made-Up Orchestra @ Black Pig Festival

Sid Peacock passionately believes orchestras are leaving too many people behind. Many people in our communities unfortunately feel orchestras are ‘not for the likes of me’ and have nothing in common with them and their lives.

Sid’s “Totally Made-Up Orchestra” in total contrast, is a unique orchestra that blends composition, improvisation, words, sounds, movements, noises, gestures and humour into a unique and captivating performance.

At 2pm on Saturday July 26th, come and hear the ambitious and fun-filled new music written by the orchestra during a morning workshop in Enniscrone. It uniquely places the experiences, lives and worlds of participants from across the communty at its heart.

Experience The Totally Made Up Orchestra in Enniscrone as it brings the brilliance of the orchestral experience to more people and truly reaches out to new people.

Forget any stuffy perceptions you might have of orchestras. This is like nothing you’ve ever heard before!

Super fun and wild adventurous music guaranteed!

We’d love the orchestra – which likely includes people you know – to have a sizeable, supportive and enthusiastic audience for their 30 minute concert, so please come along and be prepared to be ‘wowed’!
