In this episode of the Bristol Distinguished Address Series, What is it about making music together that provides an immediate sense of belonging, dignity, and connection? And how does Dovetail Orchestra, a charity based in Bristol, Cardiff, and London that works with people who have been displaced from all over the world, make the most of that potential?

Join us for a discussion and unique practical insights into this question with Dovetail Orchestra's artistic director, Dr Jonathan James, joined by members of the orchestra for live demonstrations of key ideas.

The event is delivered in collaboration with the Centre for Music (CFM), a UWE Bristol organisation championing accessible and diverse musical practice, as part of their Festival of Sound programme.
