International angle to project for young stars
MUSICIANS from China, Chile and the Balkans will join Edinburgh's Tinderbox Orchestra for its Journey Of A Thousand Wings performance at the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh on Saturday.
An experimental musical outlet for people under 25, the Tinderbox project brings together performers from a wide range of styles to create original compositions and collaborate with musicians who might inspire and involve them in the wider contemporary arts scene in Edinburgh and beyond.
Saturday's concert will feature the full orchestra, bands, choir, live visuals, storytelling and special guests including singer Yuzhe Song from Beijing folk-rock band Dawanggang and Chilean folk group Ensamble Transatlantico de Folk Chileno.

Also playing will be Martin Storey, principal cello, BBC SSO and Yann Ghiro, principal clarinet, BBC SSO.
Guest performers will include the soprano Wilma MacDougall from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Tickets - at £10, £5 concessions and children free - include refreshments after the concert.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
