In order to create an homogeneous work band, the
BAMBOO ORCHESTRA sets up at first some sensitization workshops in different
parts of the city and the department (schools, spare-time centres, cultural
centres, youth club and arts centres…). Then it proposes to the volunteers to join
the "Pousses de Bamboo Orchestra" and to practise every week
in the Bamboo Orchestra's workshop at the Friche La Belle de Mai on saturday
afternoons. The Pousses de Bamboo Orchestra play in public during events
as the Fête de la Musique, Fête de quartier, festivals pour les jeunes…
This band is currently made up of 20 children who are between 8 and 18 years
old. The musicians of the BAMBOO ORCHESTRA are very confident in this young
band; this workshop is free and function only with the children's desire and
motivation.The City of Marseille actively supports this workshop and the Conseil
Général of the Bouches du Rhône… |
