Karosta Children’s Symphony. An Orchestra’s Guide to the Life of a Young Person

Karosta Children’s Symphony Orchestra “An Orchestra’s Guide to the Life of a Young Person” is a collaborative project that brings together music, visual art and performance. Over an 18-month period, the Bristol-based artist collective “Action Hero” (UK) will work closely with the Liepāja Karosta Children’s Music School, its pupils, young people with no prior musical training, and emerging composers to create an original symphonic composition and staged production.

Conceived as a journey through creative dramaturgy, the symphony unfolds in distinct movements, each reflecting a different stage of childhood or adolescence. Personal stories from local young people are transformed into the artistic narrative, offering an emotional exploration of growing up through sound, image and performance.

Organised by Latvian New Theatre Institute
