Join us again on Saturday 10 September 2022 for Wemba's Dream: Join the Journey
This September, Wembley Park will join creative forces with members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and five Brent-based creative groups, to host Wemba’s Dream - a free day of music, theatre, spoken word and dance.
This original, site-specific performance will show how orchestral music can combine with contemporary dance, theatre, carnival arts, film and spoken word to produce an outstanding creative experience for audiences of all ages.
The day-long, free performance experience on Saturday 11th September is part of a shared vision between Wembley Park and the RPO to establish a creative hub bringing together education, community outreach, performance, digital projects and administration in a single location.
Inclusion and community engagement is at the heart of the RPO’s mission to be a truly inclusive and contemporary international orchestra for the modern age, and this new initiative is part of a long-term plan to integrate and engage with the local community by providing free and accessible quality musical experiences that are in line with Wembley Park’s cultural strategy
Following a major call out to Brent-based artists and creatives, which attracted significant interest, RPO musicians and five artistic groups began a truly collaborative process to develop site-specific performance experiences for Wembley Park.
