Combining new pieces and interviews, this audio collage is the result of regular meetings and workshops with members of the Good Neighbours Scheme. The project was run in partnership with Help On Your Doorstep as part of our LSO Connect programme of activity with, by and for older Islington residents (aged 55+).
Audio collage by sound artist Jack Miguel, members of The Cally Rhythmics (Jean Stokes, Help On Your Doorstep), in collaboration with musicians of the LSO, and animateurs Detta Danford and Natasha Zielazinski.
About LSO Connect
LSO Connect, part of LSO Discovery, is a new programme of activity with, by and for older Islington residents (aged 55+), offering opportunities for sharing stories and musical exploration in a positive, creative and kind environment. Working in partnership with local organisations Help on Your Doorstep, St Luke’s Community Centre and Claremont Project, the groups engage with inspiring themes and test new ways of working.
We have involved artists from a range of artforms, disciplines and backgrounds and invite participants themselves to become artists, musicians, dancers and all-round creatives, regardless of musical background. The local knowledge and experience of members is celebrated and shared, and participants have forged close connections, remarking on their increased sense of togetherness, belonging and improved wellbeing.
