A short documentary, shot between 2 and 4 July 2009, which followed 15 young musicians as they attended the first London Sinfonietta Academy, an intensive 3-day course taught by London Sinfonietta Principal Players and distinguished composer Elgar Howarth. The students learned core contemporary repertoire as an ensemble and performed in front of an audience at Kings Place on the final evening.
