Eager young musicians from Melbourne’s west have hit the recording studio to record their version of Coldplay’s
Viva la Vida.
More than 30 singers, violinists and cellists aged five to 16 – including Maisy, Amelie and Madison – were treated to a tour of the Kindred Studios recording facilities in Yarraville before joining Victoria University student mentors to create the recording.
Organised by Laura Sheridan of Strings West and the Take Note Youth Choir, with Stephen Rando from the VU music department, the project involved VU students devising and delivering the workshop as part of their teaching studies within their music degree.
VU sound production students produced the track, which will be launched at the Newport Folk Festival this weekend.
