Fostering Cultural Leadership Through Music
OSJ’s Community Engagement Initiatives
2019 thus far…
- Displaced Voices (January) – connected the voices of young migrants at the Oxford Spires Academy to their communities through poetry and music
Afghan Women’s Orchestra Oxford Residency (March) – a seven-day cross-cultural collaboration with Afghanistan’s first all-female orchestra, OSJ, Oxfordshire County Music Service, local community members and the University of Oxford
Ongoing…
- Online Distance Lessons – OSJ musicians teach students at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music
- Rhythm & Signs – community music workshops in Oxford which create cohesive group improvisations through hand signals
Music for Autism – hundreds of relaxed concerts a year for autistic children, adults and their carers
Looking ahead…
- Heart to Heart Orchestra (September 2020) – Young autistic musicians from South Korea play side-by-side with OSJ musicians in Dorchester and London
- Continuing to build new partnerships and projects in Oxfordshire and beyond
