Broadening Horizons: A song for health Nicola Gill and Chris Bartram
Event details
In November 2019 the World Health Organisation published a report about the health benefits of the arts. Their conclusion was ‘The arts are good for you’.
Discover more about this research and find out how the arts can improve your own health and wellbeing, particularly during the Covid-19 crisis, with musician Chris Bartram and GP Nicola Gill.
You’ll also experience the benefits for yourself in an informal, relaxing singing session led by Chris, where we will mute all participants so you can sing in the comfort of your own home.
In addition to this, we will open up discussion for you to share your own experiences of looking after your wellbeing in lockdown through the arts and creativity.
Presented by the National Centre for Early Music, the workshop is open to everyone - you don’t need to be able to sing, consider yourself musical, or have an interest in the arts. You just need to be curious to broaden your horizons and find out more.
Please note: Booking required via tickets.ncem.co.uk. A Zoom link will be sent to participants on the morning of the event.
