BiographyThe Multi-Story Orchestra was co-founded by Christopher Stark and Kate Whitley. The orchestra is made up of outstanding young professional musicians who share a commitment to widening accessibility to classical music. Its performances in car parks around the UK attract huge, diverse audiences. The group tours local school halls and playgrounds, and runs choir projects that bring together hundreds of young people to perform alongside the Orchestra. In 2016, Multi-Story’s work was recognised with a Royal Philharmonic Society Award for “ingenuity, simplicity, and as a model which can be replicated to create new audiences for classical music around the UK.”
