Music in Action
This performance brings together three of our programmes, the Sing Out! Pimlico, our In-Schools Programme and the Pimlico Children’s Choir. Our special guest is Ansumana Suso who is a vocalist and percussionist specialising in West African music.
The concert explores songs that have changed the world in a variety of contexts from different cultures, periods and social causes. Expect pieces such as Labi Siffre, ‘Something Inside So Strong’, and Bob Dylan, ‘Blowing in the Wind’ - just a couple of the many songs that have inspired change.
Music has helped shape our society. We are celebrating how powerful music can be.

Noye’s Fludde
Our original community production of Noye’s Fludde (2023)
On 5th July 2023, two hundred young performers and four hundred audience packed out St Gabriel’s, Pimlico for our original production of Benjamin Britten’s community opera. The performance followed six weeks of educational workshops in five of our partner schools using the story as a tool for teaching about climate change, rewriting traditional hymn texts and unleashing the creativity of the Pimlico community.
After being tipped off that a flood is coming, Noye (played by Gareth Brynmor John) enlists the help of the Pimlico community to help build a boat big enough to survive. This summer, the Pimlico Musical Foundation launches its most ambitious project yet, bringing together hundreds of local schoolchildren, teachers, volunteers, and professional musicians to transform St Gabriel’s, Pimlico into the world of Noye’s Fludde.
