WATCH: Youth orchestra and choir in online performance
A GROUP of young musicians came together to record You’ll Never Walk Alone as part of an Easter holiday project.
All 93 musicians are from the Guernsey Youth Orchestra and Youth Choir, which normally meets every Saturday.
However, to do this performance during lockdown each musician recorded their part from their own homes to pay tribute to the community during this challenging time.
Head of the Guernsey Music Centre Tim Wright said: ‘We wanted to pay tribute to everybody in isolation, all healthcare workers and also everybody in all parts of the States of Guernsey and wider community who are working so hard for our island during this crisis.
‘Naturally it took a lot of organising and work to bring this all together remotely, so we hope people like it.’
To put the performance together, a Google Drive folder was created for individual parts with click tracks embedded into them that each student then performed on their individual instrument at home.
They then uploaded their videos onto a drive folder from which they were mixed together.
The final screen shows all of them performing the piece.
Anyone who would like to view the performance can do so on the Facebook pages of the Friends of the Guernsey Music Centre and States of Guernsey.
