Nova

projects
The Swedish Chamber Orchestra invests itself in children's programs to reach out into the community and to offer professional classical music experiences for children growing up in the region of Örebro. More than half of the SCOs total audience attendance consist of children and young adults under age of 18 years old.
Each year, the SCO produces four to six productions primarily geared towards children and young adults. Among the musicians of the SCO, is a council for children's programs that plans future productions. The council collaborates with a number of partners, primarily schools and music schools, in and around Örebro, to create each production. Oftentimes, youth from the partnering schools and music schools participate themselves in the creation of a new production.

In the Fall of 2007, a new youth project called NOVA was initiated by the SCO. NOVA is an umbrella name for something that the SCO hopes becomes a bi-annual event for children in the region. Along with musicians of the SCO, local school children are offered in-classroom activities coupled with visits at rehearsals and other meetings with arts-education teachers to go deeper into the music, learning new and exciting aspects of the creative field.

During the school year 2007-2008, NOVA focuses on the theme of nature. Through music and dance activities, the children will explore this theme, learning more about contemporary debate on world climate changes and comparing their own reflections with the reflections on nature made by Ludwig van Beethoven and Brett Dean as they wrote their respective Pastoral Symphonies.

The results of their exploration and creativity will be presented at Örebro Concert Hall during the week of April 14, 2008. As part of this presentation, the SCO will perform both Beethoven and Dean's Pastoral Symphonies, along with perhaps new compositions and choreography made by local school children.
