BSD Students Participate in Virtual Student Orff Ensemble

June 11, 2021

During this time when making and performing music in groups has been challenging, 18 schools in Manitoba recently collaborated to create a virtual Orff ensemble.  From Brandon, Earl Oxford School Grade 5 students: Gabrielle Jarata and Seth Martin-Millar; and Kirkcaldy Heights School Grade 6 students: Maia Placatka and Logan Jardine all played xylophones in the ensemble.

The students were recorded individually playing their parts and then all parts were edited together into one video. The video premieres on YouTube on June 11^th.

Check out the amazing work of these hard-working musicians from BSD and across the province: Manitoba Orff Chapter Virtual Student Orff Ensemble - YouTube
