“This really showcases what is possible with creation, from the ground level. We started with a space, a set of young poets and young musicians and at the end of it we’ve created this wonderful, professional piece of work that could stand up against anything”

It’s a really fun experience. It’s very unique - you learn so many different skills and get to perform with other musicians in big venues, which gives you confidence. And you get to make friends. that’s probably the best bit of it honestly.
I’d definitely say it’s intense, it really pushes and challenges you to reach your full potential. But it’s really worth it.
The thing I love the most about it is the collaborative aspect. We made about half an hour of music. Every person on the stage has been involved in creating that piece of music. They've thrown in a lyric, a riff, an idea and those ideas were nurtured and sewn together and we’ve created this really original piece
Getting to work with some amazingly talented people and collaborate is really rare, there’s not much ensemble opportunities around. You create great pieces of music as well, it’s just fantastic. It’s so difficult to sum up, theres so many great things about it.
Wall2Wall Music is a creative journey where you and your community create a body of new music together. You will collaborate with other genres and sometimes other art forms. You will build skills in improvising, composing, ensemble playing and leading. You will be hands on, playing and learning all day.
Whether it is a project that sees musicians respond to their heritage, work with poets, dancers or visual artists, or establish their songwriting and form new bands, we create unique projects for each community we work with. We never know what the end piece will be when starting a project, but the results are always collaborative, meaningful and powerful.
