Sound Sanctuary: Adults

Research has shown that music can have a positive effect on mental health, and working with others on creative pursuits is one of the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’ championed by the World Health Organisation (WHO). If you’re an adult experiencing mental health or well-being challenges, you are warmly invited to join musicians from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for fun, creative music sessions to listen to and create music alongside professional musicians. Monthly sessions are evidence-based and designed to provide respite and improve mood, delivered by our specially trained musicians and Workshop Leaders.

At each session, you’ll get the chance to meet professional musicians and work together with other participants to create brand-new pieces of music and songs. You’ll be supported to try out instruments and devise melodies, lyrics, rhythms and styles for your pieces, expressing your thoughts, feelings and emotions.

No prior musical experience is required to take part, and all genres or types of music will be explored. Instruments will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you already play.
