🎬 Lovely news to share! Earlier this year, we promoted the English National Opera ‘Finish This…’ project to schools - a creative challenge where students complete a composition started by an ENO composer. Shoreham Village School , a tiny primary in Sevenoaks with just 100 pupils, took part - and their finished piece was one of just 41 (out of over 200 entries) selected to be turned into a full animation! We're so impressed, and so were the ENO team. Neil Goulding, ENO’s Head of Facilities Management, said: “Wow, the syncopated rhythms really made this piece stand out from the crowd. I loved its boldness and the vocal layers.” 🎉 We’ll be partnering with ENO next year as one of only two music hubs with celebration events and showcases, and we couldn’t be more proud. 🎧 Watch the animation: (fb)

🎶 Music doesn’t fix everything. But it helps. This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re thinking about the power of community, and how music can connect, comfort and lift us up when we need it most! Whether it’s playing in a band, singing in a group, or just turning up the volume on a tough day, music has always been part of how people support each other. We’re proud to be part of an amazing community of musicians - and music lovers - here in Kent and Medway. You're always welcome to make music with us 💚 Mind Mental Health Foundation #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek (fb)
