Song-writing Group: Creating Music Together

Do you love to write? Or have an interest in exploring music? It doesn’t matter if you’ve never written songs before, we are an open group for anyone of any ability and background.

Our Song-writing Group meets twice a month to work with our Creative Producer to create songs inspired by stories in our collection and your own experiences. We sometimes work with amazing composers, singers, writers and musicians to inspire new approaches to music creation.

During our sessions we will have a go at different writing activities and collaborate to create songs. You’ll get to hear lived experiences of Jewish communities through our collection, seeing objects, photographs and oral histories to inspire our writing. You’d be most welcome to bring an instrument to the session, but please note this isn’t necessary to partake. We have a piano, so you would be most welcome to play if you’d like to!

Don’t worry if your new to the group, our doors are always open for new members – it’s a supportive space to try something new! No writing or music experience necessary.

Over the next few sessions we’ll be getting ready for a performance as part of the annual Cheetham Cultural Festival so it’s an exciting time to join!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Our Song-writing Group is FREE and open to anyone over the age of 18, whether you identify as Jewish or are just curious to meet new people and develop your writing or musical skills.
