I've been working for over 6 months as the technical coordinator in the Creative Learning department of the Barbican Centre in London. I recently had the opportunity to work on a project bringing together over 100 young orchestral players in east London with one of the leading maestros of classical music. Gustavo Dudamel is the conductor and musical director for the LA Philharmonic and during his residency at the Barbican we took the opportunity to arrange an open rehearsal to gain an insight into his processes, and to create an extraordinary opportunity for the young musicians we work with across London.

I took on the role of technical manager for this project, overseeing and arranging the stage planning, lighting, multitrack recording and sound mixing of the orchestra.

Watch Gustavo Dudamel work with young musicians from London and Los Angeles. On Friday 15 March, an orchestra of over 100 young players from east London and Los Angeles took part in an open rehearsal with Gustavo Dudamel. The orchestra were working on Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture in front of an audience inside the Barbican Theatre.
