A weekly group meeting in the unique green setting of Ark at Egwood to support people’s mental health and social connections through the transformative power of collective music making.
The group explores instruments, learns musical skills and works together to form a creative musical ensemble that reflects the group and its members. Each week members are joined by BSO Associate Sam Mason and a musician team, creating new versions of well known songs and improvising new music together. The Somerset Wellbeing Orchestra is participant-focussed and led, developing the participants’ musical skills and melodic ideas, enabling the process of creative music making.
