Community Projects
Inspiring transformation in places and communities
-
Our pioneering and internationally acclaimed community music and co-creation activity. Discovery and empowering individuals, communities, and institutions. Creating open, inclusive, and accessible spaces that enable all to engage in artistic practice, discover new ways of self-expression, and establish connections across social divides. Building foundations for proud, inspired, and active communities. Cultural participation for all.
-
Tailor made projects and events that inspire and bring people and places together. Let’s imagine together: small and beautiful spring festivals, joyful neighbourhood singings, big parades through city streets, massive colourful co-created performances on concert hall stages... and beyond!
-
Joy and wonder for all and available now. Workshops, participatory concerts, pop-up festivals that are fully responsive to all those who are in the room - but are also ready to go. We’ll co-create something special.
Training
Sharing our expertise with community musicians and organisations
-
Intensive training on site. Equipping community musicians with the knowledge and skills to create joyful and meaningful community events. We build, imagine, and make over a week of creative learning.

With our expertise we come to different institutions to share our approach, methods, and knowledge. Adapting our topics to the needs of the place.

Sharing our stories and experience through interactive speeches, presentations, or instant workshops.
