Alondra de la Parra's The Impossible Orchestra raises money for vulnerable women & children in Mexico
Conductor Alondra de la Parra has wanted to create a project to raise money to her vulnerable women and children in her native Mexico. The idea is to send a message of support and hope to those whose position has been exacerbated by the present crisis. And so The Impossible Orchestra was born. Working with choreographer Christopher Weeldon, dancer Elisa Carrillo Cabrera and distinguished musicians from 14 countries, she has created a video of her arrangement of Márquez’s Danzón No. 2. Musicians performing include violinist Maxim Vengerov, cellist Jan Vogler, flautist Emmanuel Pahud, including Alondra de la Parra on piano, tenor Rolando Villazón the claves, and many more. See the website for full listing.The video will raise money for two Mexican foundations working to combat violence directed at women and children: Fondo Semillas and Save The Children Mexico, and the soundtrack is available from Alpha Records.

If you're going - lucky you!Here's a taste of what you can expect when the action kicks off at the end of this week.Artistic director Kathryn Stott has assembled a tremendous line-up of colleagues, ranging from fellow pianists like Charles Owen and Timothy Young to harpist Ruth Wall (interviewed here the other week), Chinese pipa player Wu Man and the amazing Roberto Carrillo-Garcia who plays the double bass, the classical guitar AND the viola da gamba. The doughty Goldner String Quartet rubs shoulders with fellow Australians of Arcadia Winds, the Ensemble Liaison and several splendid actors; musicians from America, Moldova, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada and the Czech Republic are all due to swan in to Townsville; as for the repertoire, you'd be hard pressed to find a programme quite as international as this anywhere else.
