Roxanna Panufnik explains the creation of her new work, 'Orchestrapaedia' - including illustrations by her brother Jem that accompany the live performance.
Inspired by Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, Orchestrapaedia is a brand new piece by Roxanna Panufnik that celebrates an orchestra's diverse character. Based on the hauntingly beautiful Welsh air 'Dros yr Afon', the instruments take on anthropomorphic characters, such as Señor Trompeta, the Mexican Trumpet; Sassy Clarinet & Big Daddy Bass and Loving Lower Strings -- all vividly brought to life in glorious technicolour by Roxanna's artist brother, Jem Panufnik.
