In this week's Lunchtime Talk, Liam Taylor-West, Composer and Audiovisual Artist speaks on how the line-up of the orchestra has and hasn't changed over the years.

The focus of this talk will be on how the line-up has changed based on the work being done by two Bristol-based organisations, Paraorchestra and the National Open Youth Orchestra, to reimagine orchestras as more inclusive ensembles that enable the participation of musicians with disabilities.
