Everyday People

Music Action International have created “Everyday People” an amazing new ensemble for young people, partnering up with Brighter Sound. Working with their international team of creative facilitators, young people explore, create and play music from their own homelands, sharing language, music styles and approaches they love, to collaborate and produce something totally unique.

Everyday People provides a unique opportunity for young refugees who have been separated from their family to become friends with local young musicians, creating great new music together with an important message. Regular music activity provides relief from the stresses caused by their traumatic experiences, and encourages friendships with other young people. Everyone is welcome, regardless of musical experience or level of spoken English.

Everyday People will perform at the Clore Ballroom, Royal Festival Hall, 2.30 – 3.30pm on Saturday 30th July 2016, following a week-long residency at the Southbank Centre as part of their Festival of Love.
