In September, we were invited to represent Music Generation at The Child Poverty and Wellbeing Summit at The Axis Theatre, Ballymun. Our musician educators Karen Cowley and Niamh Crowhurst presented ‘Live Musicking!’ – a Music Explorers session live on stage with the young students from Our Lady of Victories, Ballymun. With Dan Smith accompanying, Karen and Niamh presented a colourful session with elements of pitch, rhythm, play and creativity.
Two young musicians, Cara and Reyne from Larkin’s Community College, were invited to perform. Alongside our musician educator, Cormac Curran, the duo performed one cover and a beautiful original song ‘A World Where…’. The event was a fantastic opportunity to showcase what Music Generation is and the work we do with children and young people.
