We have less that 58 hours to reach our goal to make a film about this incredible world music orchestra! Here is some information about them and our favourite tweets of support!
‘Inner Vision Orchestra is UK’s only orchestra for blind musicians and they are fantastic! Now there is a kickstarter campaign for a film...’ - Jools Holland’s R&B Orchestra
‘What you’re doing is truly wonderful on so many levels.’ - Dame Evelyn Glennie
They’re all sight-impaired or blind, range from the ages of twenty-five to ninety, one sought refuge from Iran with the help of the RNIB, another through his own success has performed with the likes of Coldplay, Oasis, and Boy George, and they kicked of their 2014 UK tour to a full house at Rich Mix on 25th September.
Inner Vision Orchestra is formed of blind musicians from all over the world. Baluji Shrivastav who played with Chris Martin at the Paralympic closing ceremony leads ten others in transcending barriers with music. Each member has an incredible story to tell. Peggy, the ninety year old mini-cymbalist, who after a road accident turned from painting to sculpture. Fereshteh, whose Iranian parents threatened to kill her due to the restrictions on women singing in public. Takashi, who came to London from Japan to study at the Royal Academy of Music and finds freedom through dance. And Victoria who since she went blind at the age of seven, sees sound in colour, a condition called synaesthesia.
The count down is on for us to reach our target and share the uplifting stories of this amazing group!
