Inclusive Grooves

Paraorchestra, Charles Hazlewood

‘THE Platform Arts Dialogue’ series is an international online series for artistic exchange, aimed at inviting artists from different countries to share their experiences, sources of inspiration, and future plans related to arts with disabilities. In each episode, we will delve into artists’ unique perspectives and cultural backgrounds, promoting international communication and collaboration in arts with disabilities.  

In this episode, Mr. Charles Hazlewood, the music director of Paraorchestra, shares insights about the founding and innovative aspects of the orchestra. The conversation highlights the differences in member composition and repertoire selection compared to traditional classical orchestras, such as utilising varied instrumentation and arrangements, as well as incorporating more modern musical styles in composition and performance. These elements aim to provide the public with a fresh orchestral experience.

Charles Hazlewood and Paraorchestra illustrate the limitless possibilities of inclusive orchestras and music, allowing us all to experience a harmonious world through music.
