Soundbox is an all-ability inclusive music collective that brings together disabled and non-disabled musicians aged 16-25 from East London to make and create music using a mixture of traditional instruments, music technology and singing.

Soundbox is for anyone interested in:

  • Developing as a musician through making music with others
  • Experimenting with music technology and/or instruments to make music
  • Being creative
  • Meeting new people from different backgrounds and working collaboratively with others
  • Being part of a new and unique ensemble

“My favourite thing about Soundbox is how spontaneous it is – someone plays something on their instrument and suddenly, 10 minutes later, it’s a brilliant piece of music and everybody is joining in. It is also really exciting because as people get used to their instruments and to each other, the music just keeps getting better and better, and more interesting.” Daisy, trumpet

What experience do you need?
The group is for creative musicians of all abilities with a range of previous experience.

When and Where?
We will be meeting for a Creative Weekend Lab on Saturday 8 & Sunday 9 April.

What’s the cost?
Soundbox is FREE!

Do you need to audition?
No. For more information and to register to take part in the Weekend Lab, just download the information sheet and registration form from the Downloads Section (on the right). Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first served basis.

 

Soundbox is an integrated ensemble for disabled and non-disabled musicians. We endeavour to ensure that sessions are accessible, welcoming and engaging for everyone regardless of background and needs.

Soundbox is a partnership project between Spitalfields Music, the London Symphony Orchestra and Drake Music.
