OL Tea Break: Bringing migrant communities together through music
NewsNews Story
In our latest Tea Break episode, Joana Maia (Data and Administration Assistant), chats with Dulce Duca, a Portuguese circus artist and local ambassador about our Create Yarmouth project.
They discuss the impact of recent events held with the Portuguese community as part of the BBC Concert Orchestra's residency in Great Yarmouth.
With over 10,000 Portuguese people in the area, Dulce shares how she's built close connections to engage the community in projects that are meaningful to them.
Along with the benefits for local residents, Dulce touches on how this type of community focussed work supports orchestral musicians to step out of their comfort zones and engage with diverse groups of people.
"Music is an art form that connects all cultures."
