Sam Smith visits the Nordoff Robbins Community Choir

The Choir is Led by music therapists Oli Kluczewski and Emily Grimes, and is completely open access – welcoming anyone, regardless of experience or ability, to join and find support in music. Members come with a wide range of backgrounds from the local community and join with many others who have previously attended music therapy sessions at Nordoff Robbins. For many beneficiaries of music therapy the choir provides a welcoming musical space where people can take the next steps in their music therapy journey – and the group work together to encourage social health and communication through music.

Speaking of the choir, Sam said, “It’s such a happy room of people…there was a real sense of community and friendship in there. I just think it’s really special”
