Our creative projects are collaborative processes. We co-create new music with a diverse range of people, bringing together and valuing their ideas and learning from the breadth of our participants' lived experiences.

This effort focused on Long Melford, Acton, and Glemsford, aiming to ignite social and cultural bonds by inviting residents of all ages to come together and engage in joyful, collaborative music-making.
