From protests to revolutions, the 20th Century saw momentous social change driven by passionate young people. So, come and join a movement; a mass action by a community of teenage musicians - the world\u2019s greatest orchestra of teenagers - brought together by their passion for music. The soundtrack? Immense musical calls to arms that defined an era.\r\n\r\nDecadent and radical, 1920\u2019s Berlin was a haven for subversive, left-wing artists. Among them was Hans Eisler, who took his music out of the concert hall and onto the streets, dissolving the divide between performer and audience with his stirring songs for the people. Taking their cue from workers marching out on strike, for this piece our musicians will be downing the tools of their trade and raising their voices, united in song.\r\n\r\nLong before John Lennon, Bob Dylan and U2 made anti-war protest songs cool, Benjamin Britten wrote\u00a0<i>Sinfonia da Requiem<\/i>. Its huge orchestral forces, apocalyptic drumrolls and pervasive sense of foreboding are a heart-on-sleeve warning of the war-time horrors that lie ahead.\r\n\r\nBrutal and deadly, Russia\u2019s 1905 revolution set in motion a chain of events that would change the country forever. Like a modern-day music producer Shostakovich weaves samples of old revolutionary songs into huge cinematic soundscapes and mixes cacophonous brass with pounding percussion into a startling critique of political oppression.","shape_text":"<strong>Eisler<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Auf den Strassen zu singen<\/em>\r\n<strong>Britten<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Sinfonia da Requiem<\/em>\r\n<strong>Shostakovich<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Symphony No. 11, 'The Year 1905'<\/em>\r\n\r\n<strong>National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain\r\nJaime Mart\u00edn<\/strong>\u00a0<em>conductor<\/em>","campaign":"","datetime_start":"2020-01-04 19:30:00","datetime_end":"2020-01-04 19:30:00","date_rewrite":"","location":"england-midlands","venue":"Warwick Arts Centre","price":"","free_for_teens":false,"rewrite_cta_label":"","rewrite_cta_url":"","link_to_tickets":"","hide_cta":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/admin.nyo.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/performances\/30069"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/admin.nyo.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/performances"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/admin.nyo.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/performances"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/admin.nyo.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/performances\/30069\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30296,"href":"https:\/\/admin.nyo.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/performances\/30069\/revisions\/30296"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/admin.nyo.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/admin.nyo.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"events_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/admin.nyo.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events_types?post=30069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
