Something Special Happens
This is a brand new song, written for Camden. We would like as many schools as possible to learn it and record it so we can create a Camden-wide version. Sheet music and learning tracks are here. Please email sheena.masson@camden.gov.uk to add your voices to the borough-wide project.
Camden World Song Project II
The Camden World Song Project began in the early 2000s as a way of highlighting and celebrating the wealth of cultures and languages in our schools, focusing on songs, music and dancing.
Involving children, parents and staff from schools across the borough, songs were collected, collated and shared. A printed pack of songs and a CD of children’s performances was produced – and is still available. The project inspired similar projects across London and more widely across the UK.
We think it’s time to revisit this project! Watch this space or get in touch for more information of how to get involved. sheena.masson@camden.gov.uk
A New Created World at the
Royal Albert Hall March 2020
A New Created World – a brand new composition written by pupils at Frank Barnes School for Deaf Children, Gospel Oak Primary School, Rhyl Primary School and Swiss Cottage School, working with players of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Fellows of the Royal Academy of Music under the musical direction of James Redwood. The piece was performed at the Camden Schools’ Music Festival on 10th March 2020 by over 2000 young people – the massed instrumental ensembles and choirs of Camden.
This project was funded by the London Music Fund.
