After the huge success of the National Youth Orchestra horn section's video blog last course, they have been busy making another film to show you a bit more of the personality and fun behind the scenes at Britain's biggest orchestra. To tie in with both the repetoire of the Summer course (Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet - known to most people at The Apprentice theme tune) and their current efforts orchestra-wide to help raise money for NYO, the horns decided to make 'The Horn Apprentice'.
What you are about to see what devised, scripted, performed, filmed and edited entirely by teenagers. All whilst preparing for the NYO Summer concerts. All nine NYO horns participated: Team Strauss (Carys Evans, Mark Harding, Peter Baumann, Alexei Watkins and Jacob Rowe) and Team Mahler (Ed Spencer, Ben Hulme, Joel Ashford and Fabian van de Geest).
If you're inspired by their efforts to raise the profile of the NYO, and would like to give even a little money to commend their efforts, you can make a valued donation to the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain online by clicking here.
Directed by Mark Harding
Voiceover by Patrick Harrild (NYO tuba tutor and LSO principal tuba)
Produced by NYO Horn Section 2011
Starring Jim Beck (NYO horn tutor), Oli Hickie and Piera Buckland (NYO support team)
With thanks to James Murphy and the NYO staff
The National Youth Orchestra would like to point out that none of its brilliant horn players were actually fired during the making of this film. :-)
