The Totally Made Up Orchestra
Brian Irvine passionately believes orchestras are leaving too many people behind and that too many people in our communities feel orchestras are ‘not for the likes of me’ and have nothing in common with them and their lives.
Brian Irvine’s “The Totally Made Up Orchestra” is in total contrast and a unique orchestra that blends composition, improvisation, words, sounds, movements, noises, gestures, humour and much head scratching into a unique and captivating performance.
