The OrKidstra

I have just heard of a marvellous new initiative in Ottawa, founded last year by the owners of a music shop on Elgin Street, The Leading Note. Inspired by a film made in Venezuela about a similar project—Tocar y Luchar (which means "to play and to fight")—and assisted in Ottawa by professional instrumentalists, they're giving local musical children aged between 6 and 14 years old the chance to learn an instrument from scratch(!) and play together in an OrKidstra.

Los primeros sonidos que se transformarán en grandes conciertos.

If you click here, you can find the link to a short CBC radio documentary about this, broadcast on May 1st, 2008.
