This is an inspiring piece we made in 2 hours on 5.04.25 with players from London Symphony Orchestra and our own community musicians. We had around 30 people in the circle including 13 young people, and members of our social-prescribing community group. Ages in the room were from 7-70!

The piece was inspired by Shostakovich, who was known for secretly putting messages in his music (e.g. his own name) in musical form. 

We asked the group what messages they would like to say to the world, and the two that were used to create the music were 'save the wildlife' and 'wash away bad gasses'. You can also hear everyone improvising their name rhythmically in part of the piece.

See if you can hear these messages in the music!
