A Musical Rebellion, 2025-2027

A protest in harmony. A future reimagined.

We are thrilled to announce our next major large-scale music education and performance programme leading to a performance in the Royal Albert Hall, called A Musical Rebellion. Based on the power of protest songs, A Musical Rebellion will consist of a brand-new commission with young people’s voices at the creative centre.

In 2027, the Royal Albert Hall will erupt with sound; but preceding that will be 2 years of work with young people starting in September 2025 to get their creative responses to our themes.

A Musical Rebellion is a landmark programme and cultural statement. Young people will deliver a bold, original commission that gives voice to the world they are inheriting; and the one they want to create. Driven by the power of protest songs, this is music with meaning: an anthem for a generation; a protest in harmony addressing urgent themes of racial, gender, LGBTQ+ and SEND equity / equality, climate justice and war, violence and displacement.

Led by the award-winning Tri-borough Music Hub, A Musical Rebellion will amplify unheard voices from across Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, and Westminster's state-school communities, many from areas of deep deprivation. They will translate their ideas into a professionally composed work and a once-in-a-lifetime performance.

We are delighted to be working with composer, Sally Greaves, with whom we have a long-standing working relationship. Since the TBMH formation in 2012, Sally has composed and arranged massed choir music for the annual Christmas Singing Festivals; written and devised the bespoke groove’n’play whole class instrumental learning programmes; and penned commissions for special events and projects. In addition, Sally has worked closely with our strategic partners to develop and write schools and community outreach initiatives.

'I think I've always been a bit of a musical rebel, but I can't think of a better reason for A Musical Rebellion than for the rights of children. This will be quite the demonstration. I can't wait to work with the children and young people on the evolution of their own revolution.'  Sally Greaves, Composer (https://www.sallygreavesmusic.com)
