Orchestrate

Orchestrate is a truly unique team-building activity that transforms your group into a full symphony orchestra in just two hours. Together, participants rehearse and deliver a powerful performance of Carmina Burana, with every individual playing a crucial role in the ensemble. This immersive experience encourages collaboration, active listening, creativity, and focus, all while developing new skills and navigating a shared challenge. The result? A memorable performance that leaves a lasting impression.

Orchestrate blends challenge and enjoyment in an experience that mirrors the dynamics of a high-performing business team. Just like in an orchestra, each member must listen carefully, adapt quickly, and contribute their unique part with precision. The conductor — much like an inspiring leader — guides without imposing, fostering individual expression in the service of collective harmony.

Participants learn to manage tempo, handle unexpected changes, and collaborate across a diverse range of talents. This powerfully illustrates the importance of communication, coordination, adaptability, and time management. Practice and preparation are key, just as they are in any successful organisation.

A facilitated debrief at the end draws compelling parallels between orchestral performance and corporate teamwork. Key takeaways include enhanced trust, unity, and operational effectiveness. It’s a rare opportunity to strengthen team bonds through creativity, shared focus, and collective pride.

The experience begins unexpectedly: as participants sit unsuspectingly in the room, a small orchestra appears on stage to perform a captivating mini-concert. The conductor then surprises the audience by announcing a bold ambition: to expand the orchestra, with the audience as its musicians. And that’s when the challenge begins.

Divided into workshops, participants are coached by professional musicians to learn one of six orchestral instruments: violin, viola, cello, clarinet, trombone, or percussion. For groups larger than 100 participants, vocals can also be added.

Finally, the entire group gathers in the main hall to tackle the ultimate challenge: performing Carmina Burana together as a full orchestra. With passion and commitment, each person plays their part, creating a rich, unified sound that symbolises the power of collective effort. This inspiring finale captures the emotional high of shared achievement, an unforgettable moment of connection, pride, and unity.

Orchestrate is an extraordinary fusion of challenge, creativity, and collaboration. Inspire your team, strengthen your cohesion, and experience the thrill of performing in perfect harmony. Give your team the chance to become an orchestra and deliver a symphony of success.
