Gabriela Ortiz's 'Téenek' | The National Youth Orchestra

NYO presents: 'Running Riot!', a series of short films created during NYO's Open Up: Running Riot! Spring Residency at the University of Kent in 2022. Taking inspiration from Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring which shocked audiences with its urgent drama and radical rhythms, NYO’s teenagers are preparing to push boundaries and team up with composers who are celebrating difference and diversity right now. Téenek by Gabriela Ortiz is a provocative reminder of our mutual belonging to the world and each other, in music fizzing with elements of classical, folk and jazz.

SUPPORT NYO
Too many talented cellists, flautists, percussionists - instrumentalists of all kinds - are now without opportunities at school to play in an orchestra, left playing on their own to their teacher, parents, and their bedroom wallpaper, as this wonderful music dries up in many state schools. Your support can provide a ladder of opportunities for immersing young musicians in the soaring experience of playing in a high-level orchestra for the first time, and ignite a life-long passion for the music you love.
Many world-class orchestras have sought out musicians who were pushed to be all they could be in NYO. In this way, by supporting a teenage musician through NYO, you will be helping to shape the future of the music you love, and we look forward to sharing their wonderful music-making with you - live, and at home thanks to the internet. You will also be helping us to take this extraordinary music out into our neighbourhoods and schools so that more young people, who may never have heard live, high-quality orchestral music get to hear it, fall in love with it as you have, and feel inspired to search out more of it.

Gabriela is a treasure - and her wisdom in questioning the whole dubious (and often corrosive) notion of "borders" is more than welcome! ¡Enhorabuena y brava, Maestra!

So young and fantastic orchestra ! At 14:00 slow and soft passage, just delicious. What a piece !

Fabulous

The music starts at ~6:00 it could have been recorded better. Plenty of energy in the performance, although this piece, combining Latin dance music with a Rite Of Spring idiom might be out at the far end of the difficulty scale for a student orchestra. But if they don't keep trying challenging music, how will they get any better? And that tympanist has STYLE.
