Music for Thought team 2021
March 2021
We have enjoyed starting new projects this year, beginning with our 6 week Music for Thought project with musicians from Wigmore Hall and the Royal Academy of Music. We invited participants to join us in exploring the theme of windows, and together we created and improvised music, shared stories and swapped pictures of the views outside our homes.
In March, poet Di Sherlock has been busy calling people at home, listening to their stories and turning them into poems! Participants have a few conversations with Di and then receive a final copy of their poem in the post. We have also started our Remembering Together project online, connecting with people living with dementia and their loved ones, using art and reminiscence to explore shared memories.
As we approach spring and start coming out of lockdown, we are planning more projects over the phone, online and in person. We soon hope to be meeting with people in their own homes and in the wider community and shall keep you updated as our plans develop!
We are seeking new Trustees to join our board!
