At Alina Orchestra we believe ‘Music is for everyone’ and as part of our dedication to the community, Alina has created ‘Band in a Van’.
A BRILLIANT ORCHESTRA BRINGING FREE CLASSICAL MUSIC TO
YOUR COMMUNITY
Band in a Van is a small group of musicians that travels to the heart of communities to perform interactive events for those that, for whatever reason, cannot attend our main concert series and where the audience participates in the event and enjoys the many benefits of live music.
The group perform anything from Disney to classical music, encouraging audiences to shake percussion, sing along, take part in body percussion or even conduct the group. For those budding musicians, you can even try an instrument at the end of the event!
It is great fun for the whole family, with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Our group play a range of music to enthuse, excite and entertain everyone watching with the aim of supporting the local community with music and music-making. It’s free!
It has provided our very vulnerable families living in deprived areas, access to experiences that they would otherwise never be able to access, providing opportunities to extend their vocabulary, encourage conversation, improving speech, confidence.
Band in a Van is currently supporting the community at libraries, children’s/family centres and visually impaired centres in Milton Keynes/Buckinghamshire and is generously supported by Rothschild Foundation, Arts Council (England) and Heart of Bucks. Most recently Band in a van has visited S.E.N.D. schools in Central Bedfordshire in partnership with Inspiring Music.
