Orchestrate!
Team plays as a symphony orchestra in just 2 hours!
About
Music-themed and inspirational, Orchestrate is an orchestral team building activity which challenges attendees to achieve the seemingly impossible – learn a new instrument and play as part of a symphony orchestra in under 90 minutes. Before learning begins, each delegate is given a range of instruments to choose from including strings, percussion, brass and woodwind. Once participants have made their decision, each instrument group is pulled aside, taught the fundamentals of their instrument and the piece they will be playing as a group.
Guided by an expert musician, each musical group practise their section of the orchestral piece and help one another develop their skills, building unity and interpersonal relationships. Then, once practise is complete, the finale begins as all of the instruments come together in a display of musical brilliance. With a conductor on hand to guide the group, each delegate becomes part of a greater team building orchestra and plays a specially written five-minute-long piece. Demanding focus, team unity and adaptability, this is a truly inspirational orchestra team building activity that is guaranteed to spark conversation for weeks and months to come.
