Philharmonia Orchestra

Hear and Now is an award-winning intergenerational community arts project developed over the past ten years by the Philharmonia Orchestra and Orchestras Live in Bedford. Hear and Now is a musical collaboration between older people living with dementia and their carers; young singers and instrumentalists from grassroots community organisations and local primary schools; and members of the Philharmonia Orchestra. Through a series of workshops, participants contribute spoken and musical ideas, emotions, movement, memories and ambitions.
