About this Event

Join us for Voices Rising: Songs of Solidarity and Celebration - an uplifting evening of singing, conversation, food and drink.

This year our two choirs, Sing for Freedom and the Mixed Up Chorus are singing for a better world, and will be performing a programme of Protest Songs. Our programme represents the diversity of our communities, bringing together powerful music and words from around the globe including from South Africa, Italy and the USA. The choirs will be joined by a special guest performer, to be announced.

The concert will be followed by an opportunity to enjoy food and drink provided by the choir community, whilst connecting with friends old and new.

Doors open at 7.15pm and the bar will be open before the concert, which will start at 8pm.

brings together people who may never otherwise meet to connect, collaborate and create. We use music and the arts as a catalyst to break down barriers, reduce isolation and enhance well-being. We produce high quality artistic work that is grown through creative collaboration, participation and experimentation.

Our work includes those who are marginalised or excluded, such as displaced people and those seeking sanctuary, people facing mental health challenges, the elderly, the financially disadvantaged and socially excluded. Since 2017 our project has brought thousands of people from across the South East including displaced people and sanctuary seekers together to compose and perform new music.

We know that choirs are an incredible way to build community, improve mental health and build empathy and therefore choral singing is a big part of our work.
