Listen | Aphasia New Music Group
Bloomsbury Theatre and Studio, WC1H 0AH , [Venue Details]Presented by Finn Beames & Company in collaboration with the UCL Communication Clinic
An evening of original songs, celebrating the creativity of people with aphasia, a life-changing condition which affects the use of language but not intelligence.
Aphasia is caused by brain injury, most commonly stroke.
The Aphasia New Music Group unites people with aphasia, musicians and speech and language therapists. Together, the group writes and performs original music, made in weekly sessions throughout the year. Alongside brand-new material, this concert will revive songs from the group’s back catalogue, with a full band and visuals co-created with artist and stroke-survivor Eilish Briscoe. This year, for the first time, the group has written and recorded an original Christmas single which will be released into the UK charts. Working with the charity SayAphasia and their national network, members of the group took a mobile recording set-up around the country, and recorded more than a hundred people with aphasia singing. This concert will launch the single, ‘Listen’, and feature the first live performance of the track.
The Aphasia New Music Group is produced by Finn Beames & Company in collaboration with the UCL Communication Clinic. It was launched in January 2023 and is currently funded by City Bridge Foundation and a private donor.
