Ulster Orchestra: 'We're hoping just to make a few sparks'
Attention mini maestros - musicians from the Ulster Orchestra are keen to pass the baton to a younger generation of conductors, players and proteges.
Members from the orchestra took their joy in music to John Paul II Primary School in west Belfast as part of an initiative to expose young people to the educational and developmental benefits of orchestral music.
The Ulster Orchestra players have delivered workshops to 10,000 primary school children.
Nigel Ireland, the Ulster Orchestra Community Liaison, lead the Inspiration Workshops.
He said the idea behind the workshops was to inspire young children.
"It's also about trying to get kids to take up an instrument and learn and feel the joy of making music together," Mr Ireland said.
