2016-2017 edition – what happened? – University of Wroclaw & School of Rhythms unity orchestra

Early rehearsals began. For some people it was their first contact with music and drums. We slowly prepared for the Christmas party together. Rector of the University opened our first ceremony and played carols on beautiful organ. While decorating the Christmas tree by international students, we played a short drumming performance and sang carols with our invited guests. At the end also a saxophone trio met our orchestra and played jazzy carols for this evening. It was great time!

We visited one of the largest primary schools in Wroclaw. We played two concerts for kids. After the concerts we gave countless amounts of autographs. The school director guided us around school, showing and explaining symbolism of school exhibitions. We visited several classes where the children got to talk with the orchestra’s members and find out more about how the schools and education systems look in their native countries. Children had a unique opportunity to listen to different musical styles and learn more about other cultures.
