I'm Never Gonna Stop

OAE Music & Film project, Darlington Orchestras Live.

 

In 2018/19 we supported a partnership project involving:

  • the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE)
  • Darlington Hippodrome
  • Durham & Darlington Music Hub
  • Orchestras Live

The OAE delivered a creative film composition project.

In the film, young musicians from Wyvern Academy, Darlington, composed a live musical soundtrack for a short film.

The film was shown alongside their live performance at The Hullabaloo on Monday 10 September 2018.
