The @ASMFOrchestra is a world-renowned orchestra based in London.
@callumgiven blogs about how they're composing a creative path out of homelessness through music-making projects, aiming to use the benefits of creativity to support individuals on their journey.

Laughter, smiles and tears in their eyes... ❤️ We were really moved today to read this blog by @callumgiven on @HomelessImpact about the powerful arts and homelessness collaboration between @asmforchestra and @homelesslondon. This is the kind of project we should all be shouting about 🤩

In a world where it’s so easy to get pulled into the constant delivery of projects, it felt great to spend today reflecting on @BrittenSinfonia’s Opus programmes and work with teachers to devise an exciting pilot programme for this summer. Expertly facilitated by @CallumGiven 💜

At the old stomping ground today with @CohereArts! Can't wait to hear songs by local composers and Suffolk's young people, taught by the masterful @appleton_tom: all part of Unsung Heroes. Loved hearing about the heritage trips from @MandyRawlins71 @SuffolkArchives yesterday too!

For many years I’ve been thinking up (or just plain stealing) daffynitions (new meanings for existing words). This is a thread of my favourites, beginning with these…
Knickers = people that steal things
Lobsters = people that throw things
Cowards = in the direction of a cow

Down in Bristol today for @BrittenPears helping @mikechallis record a couple of this year's @FridayPMs songs with Bristol Youth Choir. Great to hear a couple of these songs come to life after commissioning them with my old hat on, and lovely to step back in!
