Musical Portraits
CELEBRATING INDIVIDUALITY THROUGH MUSIC AND CREATIVITY.
MUSICAL PORTRAITS IS A CREATIVE PROJECT FOR AUTISTIC YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 10-14, DELIVERED DURING THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS.
Working with portraits from the National Portrait Gallery as inspiration, participants create their own original music with support from professional artists, composers and musicians. Through music, movement, visual art and performance, they are encouraged to explore ideas, express themselves creatively and build confidence in a supportive environment.
The project culminates in a live performance for family and friends, celebrating the creativity, individuality and achievements of everyone involved.
Musical Portraits Band gives previous participants the opportunity to come together again, reconnect with the group and build on the confidence and experience they have gained. Held during the spring and autumn half terms, the Band offers a continuing creative space for young people to develop their skills and friendships.
Musical Portraits is free to all participants and is a partnership between the National Portrait Gallery, Wigmore Hall and Turtle Key Arts.
