The amazing Streetwise Opera performers in Nottingham posed on Tuesday with the @RoyalPhilSoc 2025 #RPSAward we received earlier this month for Re:Discover Festival. This award is a valuable recognition of the creativity, courage and dedication of our participants, and of the festival’s celebration of composers of African and Caribbean heritage.

Oh and obviously we got some of brum's best artists to perform and lil old me gets to call them my friends... 🥺 @NAMYWAmusic, Sipho and @davidaustingrey, who are all outrageously talented.
Well, last week was a fun one! Myself and 3 of our exceptional Hippodrome Young Advocates spoke a room of CEOs of our arts, culture and sports biggest orgs/funders, including @HENLEYDARREN. Never thought I'd get that chance, let alone 3 young people getting to do it. 🥲

School can be the only place young people get the opportunity to learn music; yet government cuts to the arts are causing a creativity crisis, and those from minoritised backgrounds are often hit the hardest. Please help us reach out through Future Sound🙏 #ChampionsForChildren
