Grief Chorus Round 3: Call for participants

10 Dec 2025

We invite you to join us for a series of free voice and singing workshops exploring responses to grief through song, running on Monday evenings between 14 February and 11 April 2026 at Brent Hub, Stonebridge.

 

ABOUT GRIEF CHORUS ROUND 3

Over eight weeks in early 2026, we are asking the questions: How do we find joy in processing grief through sound and song? What are the musical elements of loss and grief?

We are inviting participants to come together to explore communal singing through a series of vocal workshops, learning to sing together as a group, before finding and creating songs and music that relate to the ideas of grief and joy. This participatory project is primarily aimed at residents of Brent to explore responses of grief through music and sound. Over 8 weeks through structured play and a framework of working from and responding to the body, the chorus will start to dig into how we respond to grief as humans.

The project, led by artist, voice coach and choir leader Dominie Hooper and Dramatherapist Wabriya King will take place across 8 evening sessions and two weekends in February, March and April 2026 in which participants will be guided through an exploration of their vocal response as a group to form a ‘Grief Chorus’.

The project will culminate in an informal sharing of work followed by a conversation/discussion over food with friends and family on Saturday 11 April. 

The workshops will include movements that can be modified for anybody. We welcome participants with limited mobility and are happy to talk about how we can support any access needs.

“I didn't anticipate the sense of safety and community, and was wildly overwhelmed by how close we became and 'held' throughout the whole experience - without focusing explicitly on grief. Mega mega.” Round II Participant
“My monday nights became a bit of an anchor for me in the new year. Thank you, from my heart - this is such a social project.” Round II Participant
“We approached the subject of grief in lots of different ways and with a lot of joy, which was refreshing, it also felt like a really safe space where I could express myself.” Round I Participant
