OrchLab Festival Day
Disabled adults and their carers/support workers are invited to celebrate accessible music-making with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Drake Music.
This event throws open the doors of the Royal Festival Hall to the OrchLab community for a fun day of live music, accessible instrument demonstrations and interactive workshops.
A music project founded on collaboration and inclusivity, OrchLab is run by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, in partnership with Drake Music, experts in music, technology and disability.
OrchLab offers music-making opportunities for disabled adults, through workshops, specially-created accessible instruments and bespoke web activities.
