Lambeth Sounds Music Hub is led by Lambeth Music Service in partnership with schools, colleges, music organisations, art centres and festivals and offers a range of exciting opportunities for all Lambeth residents to learn, compose, perform and appreciate music.
In March we launched the Lambeth Sounds Music Festival with five exciting days of concerts to celebrate the musical achievements of over 2500 children and young people aged 6-19 who are developing their musical skills in schools, in out of school settings and at music centres. The concerts which included choirs, orchestras, jazz bands, percussion groups and DJs, demonstrated the wide variety of music played by Lambeth’s young musicians and their displays of musical excellence to an audience of over 4000 friends and families was at times breathtaking. |

The largest of the concerts featured 32 primary schools singing together on the Royal Festival Hall stage accompanied by a live band and the famous RFH organ.
Primary and secondary schools students had the opportunity to perform together orchestras and steel bands concerts and young composers had a platform for their new music to be heard in the surroundings of the iconic Southbank Centre.
The final concert of the festival “Lambeth Sounds Live”, combined primary, secondary schools and music hub partners performing an eclectic range of music which featured recorder consorts, contemporary choirs, DJs, rap artists, and jazz and afrobeat groups.
Lambeth Sounds Music Festival was a great success which clearly displayed the high level of support that exists between young musicians, schools,hub partners, music educators, and families within Lambeth’s musical community. We would like to thank everyone who was involved for their contribution and we can’t wait to introduce more exciting performances from schools and music hub partners to the people of Lambeth.
