Royal Philharmonic Orchestra work with disabled people in musical workshop Royal Philharmonic Orchestra musicians are working with a group of disabled people at Leonard Cheshire's Randall Close Resource Centre in Battersea, London, to compose an original piece of music through a series of four workshops. The budding musicians will have the chance of a lifetime to perform their composition in an amazing setting - a champagne reception in the Royal Albert Hall Gallery. ITV Newsreader and Classic FM Presenter, Katie Derham will host the reception, which precedes the John Rutter Christmas concert being performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in December. Clara Ofori, a Randall Close service user who took part in the first workshop on Wednesday last week (29 August), said: "The workshop was really fun and creative. Working with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on a piece of music was amazing. I can't wait to play at the Royal Albert Hall." Claire Lewis, Community and Education Coordinator for the RPO, said: "The Leonard Cheshire group should be really proud of what they've achieved in the first session, particularly as many of them had never played a musical instrument before. The final piece of music was incredible. I'm really looking forward to hearing them perform live." Disabled people at Randall Close already use music to learn more about each other. During regular music therapy sessions, participants choose eight pieces of music that are a representation of their life to date. After each piece of music is played, service users explain why they chose it, and how it represents a period in their life. www.leonard-cheshire.org
