“It has been an honour to work alongside Orchestras Live and Sinfonia Viva once more to bring another exciting musical project to our district.
“These events are all about bringing people together through a shared opportunity for another year.”
“Sudbury Sounds has been a fantastic collaboration between a dynamic artistic team from Sinfonia Viva and four groups of adults from this part of the district.
“The music workshops and celebration concert at Sudbury Arts Centre have been full of energy, creativity and fun. It’s a great example of how engaging in appropriate styles of arts and culture can contribute to the wellbeing of a community, in this case with vulnerable people and those who care for them.
“Orchestras Live is so pleased to have produced this ambitious project through our partnership with Babergh District Council, and we look forward to developing further orchestral projects which support the Council’s strategic priorities.”
