Orchestra For All
2018
In April 2018, Cando2 dancers collaborated with the National Orchestra For All to perform at the Octagon, Sheffield.
The National Orchestra For All is the only national on-auditioned orchestra in the world. Young people aged 11-18 are nominated by community music leaders, teachers, social workers and charity partners for showing dedication and commitment to music in the face of challenging circumstances.
The evening explored the cross-over connection between dance and music with 100 national youth ensemble and 30 dancers from Cando2, DanceXchange, right2dance and Barrowland Ballet.
