Young Natalie Oram is becoming a lightning conductor (tee hee).
The 22-year-old, who is in her second year as assistant conductor for the Devon Youth Wind Orchestra, has been selected for an international composition project in America called a Counterpoint to Tolerance.
The project will run for two two-week summer residencies in Southern California at Idyllwild Arts in July 2008 and 2009, with the aim of investigating human conditions in the era of globalisation.
Natalie, who has an impressive track record – first class degree from Royal Holloway, prizes for compositional excellence and developing the Devon Youth Wind Orchestra – bagged one of the 10 places to work with David Rosenboom on a concert-length piece.
Meanwhile, consider yourself one of us, with a sample of the Devon Youth Wind Orchestra.
