Inner Vision Orchestra

http://balujimusicfoundation.org/about_us/inner-vision-orchestra--workshops.php

INNER VISION ORCHESTRA is the UK´s only Blind Orchestra. It´s aim is to promote blind & visually impaired musicians to address the imbalance of their absence in most of the music industry in the UK. It also aims to give confidence to blind & visually impaired musicians through the experience of workshops and performances.

We have had a successful National Tour of six concerts in England. This follows our National Tour 2013 of 13 concerts, and our London Tour 2012, as well as numerous tour dates in 2014. These tours are fully professional, with national & international media coverage, with support from the Arts Council of England, Greater London Fund for the Blind & Islington Community Chest. Some of the Orchestra performed at the Closing Ceremony Of the Paralympic Games in London 2012

The music of Inner Vision Orchestra moves between songs from Iran, Lebanon, Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, to soulful Gospel and Blues to sublime Indian Ragas and Western Classical compositions. Driven by the intensity of an inner vision we celebrate the power of music to transform lives.

Inner Vision Orchestra has 14 members and is growing! The musicians come from a wide range of musical backgrounds and cultures brought together under the direction of Baluji Shrivastav. They are London based but can travel and there is a branch in India. They perform set compositions and improvised pieces and are hoping to develop a body of New Work. They also include participants from our community workshops who integrate with the professional musicians. The opportunities to perform in our tours have resulted in increased employment in other ensembles for a number of our distinguished musicians. Please contact us if you would like to join or want us to perform. We want to show what blind and partially sighted musicians can do.

Sean Rafferty from BBC Radio 3 In Tune said Inner Vision Orchestra had a “magical mixture of sounds”

Charles Hazlewood said “ Inner Vision Orchestra play bloody great kick-ass music !“
