The Sounds Like Home Choir warmly invites you to an evening of live music and discussion to celebrate ‘Creativity and Wellbeing Week, Friday 23rd May at Centre 151, 7pm – 9pm.

The evening will feature:

The Sounds Like Home Choir: An open-access community choir of international women, sharing a variety of songs in acapella harmony that remind us of home.

Hilanderas: Chilean actors, singers and creatives Stephi Prieto and Valentina Infante perform ‘Voices of the Earth’, exploring the deep links between women’s subordination and the exploitation of the land.

Mahshid & Dario: Iranian musical duo play a selection of Persian, Arabic and Hindi songs with voice and guitar, transcending borders and celebrating cultural connection through music that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.

Panel Discussion

The performances will be followed by a relaxed panel discussion to explore the connection between creativity and wellbeing, featuring some of the performers and hosted by Counterpoints Arts.

Chats and Snacks

We will round off the evening with home cooked finger food, lovingly prepared by members of the Sounds Like Home Choir. Please stick around and have a chat.

Sounds Like Home Choir is currently funded by Arts Council England and is run by Ellen Muriel and Asha Wilson.

It was originally commissioned by Counterpoints Arts and has been supported by Old Street Community Pot and Hackney Council.

Many thanks to Hoxton Hall for hosting weekly sessions and Centre 151 for this performance opportunity.
