Come together to hear personal stories of the ways that music nurtures creativity, builds connections and drives social change.

This session explores how music breaks down barriers and creates spaces of belonging, reconnecting people with their cultural roots and strengthening the bonds that connect us all.

Through personal stories and reflections around different approaches and practices, the artists demonstrate how music is a universal language of creative expression, bringing communities together regardless of background.

Gaby D’Annunzio is a London-based community organiser and activist. She shares her journey as Co-Founder of Open Music Lab and her work at Refuge Worldwide, highlighting how providing creative education and opportunities has built diverse and supportive communities within the music industry.
