UpRising Inclusive Choir
The UpRising Inclusive Choir is a musical community without barriers for , Open to all young people up to the age of 25 with a focus on giving a voice to people with severe and profound learning disabilities.
We believe that everybody deserves to have a voice. Rather than focusing on what people can’t do, we want to emphasise what they can do. We believe that people with severe and profound learning disabilities including autism should have a life full of expression, passion and enjoyment. To enable this to happen we aim to educate, support and empower all those in our community. That’s why we use sound to enable people with learning disabilities to express themselves, connect with others and feel the warmth of music.
All sessions are free and open to all young people up to the age of 25 and their families. The choir celebrates that eveyone has their own way of sharing their voice. You can make sounds or movements, use instruments or soundmakers.
