New Partnerships 2024

We are delighted to announce our new partnership projects for 2024 - Lewisham Music: Jazz Hang - New Levels, Wandsworth Music - Better Together, and Waltham Forest Music Service - Pulse and Pattern! We would like to thank The Karlsson Játiva Charitable Foundation for their generosity in funding these exciting partnerships, which have such a lasting impact on their participants and communities.

Lewisham Music: Jazz Hang - New Levels

Lewisham Music, Tomorrow’s Warriors and Trinity Laban will collaborate to inspire, teach and nurture young musicians aged ten upwards from diverse backgrounds through a programme of practical engagement in jazz. Bringing together a large community of young musicians, the project will engage participants in weekly after-school sessions, bridging events, performances and masterclasses led by inspirational music leaders from Tomorrow’s Warriors and emerging music educators from Trinity Laban. Engagement with local primary schools across the year will enable exploration of barriers and progression pathways from schools into community music, building on the partnerships developed through Jazz Hang: Sounds of the Next Gen.

Wandsworth Music: Better Together

Wandsworth Music and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra are teaming up to develop music making opportunities for SEN/D students from the borough of Wandsworth. BEYOND (an ensemble created to give SEN/D students the opportunity to engage with ensemble playing regularly) will form the core of this project, devising music and visual art to express their thoughts and feelings around climate change and togetherness under the leadership of music educationalist, Paul Griffiths. The project will engage five Special Schools in workshops delivered by RPO musicians and Wandsworth Music specialist tutors alongside mainstream secondary school pupils and the BEYOND Ensemble, culminating in a performance at the Royal Albert Hall.

Waltham Forest Music Service: Pulse and Pattern

Waltham Forest Music Service is partnering with African arts specialists Mbilla Arts and GB Carnival to deliver percussion project Pulse and Pattern. The project will provide continuation, progression and performance opportunities for primary school pupils learning percussion instruments. Mbilla Arts will deliver inspirational performances and training for teachers in four Waltham Forest primary schools, enabling participating schools to establish percussion groups which will learn specially prepared repertoire for performances alongside Mbilla Arts musicians at the WFMS Summer Festival 2025 and the Leyton Mas in partnership with GB Carnival.
