Pick up any kind of object and join the Garbage Orchestra! In the unique and inspiring setting of Le Senghor, the Garbage Orchestra invites participants, whether complete beginners or experienced musicians, to explore their musical creativity. Using everyday objects, voices, and instruments brought by those who have them, the group will form a temporary orchestra together.
Through improvisation techniques, each participant will learn to conduct the orchestra and contribute to a collective creation. In less than two hours, the orchestra will be formed, capable of improvising, conducting, and performing its own compositions.
