Hold it Down Productions have launched an attempt to break a world record for the largest orchestra. Together with conductor Charles Hazlewood and composer Tom Basset, the Worlds Largest Orchestra will play at the LG Arena on 24 October in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.

At 12 minutes long, the piece entitled “Dawn to Dusk”, is one of the largest orchestrated pieces in history. The aim is to gather 7,000 musicians of all standards, involving all instruments, in order to break the current record which sits with over 6,000 musicians, set in May 2000 by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

If you’d like to be involved in this ridiculously huge event, take a look around their website for further information and register yourself as part of the orchestra.

Cheers to Richard Hawley for flagging this up.
