In some sessions we’ve been experimenting and having fun with boomwhackers, New Orleans rubboards, cha cha bells, vibraslaps and more. We’ve lead four sessions so far, and it’s been really positive for everyone involved (including us!). (Previously the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra had been leading the group, and at that time the project was known as Strokestra.) The sessions take place at The Albemarle Centre, Hull, in partnership with Hull Music Hub.
