UpRising! Inclusive Choir
Lincolnshire Music Service is launching a new Inclusive Choir. The UpRising! Inclusive Choir is a musical community without barriers for people of all ages and all abilities, with a focus on giving a voice to people with severe and profound learning disabilities. Their ethos is "a belief that everybody deserves to have a voice. Rather than focusing on what people can't do, we want to emphasise what they can do. We believe that people with severe and profound learning disabilities, including autism, should have a life full of expression, passion, and enjoyment. To enable this to happen, we aim to educate, support, and empower all those in our community. That's why we use sound to enable people with learning disabilities to express themselves, connect with others, and feel the warmth of music."
All sessions are free and welcome people of all ages and their families. The Choir celebrates that everyone has their own way of sharing their voice - making sounds or movements, using instruments or sound-makers.
Sessions will be mix of online and face-to-face (YMCA Showroom, Tritton Road, Lincoln), in partnership with soundabout.
