Lullaby Project Showcase in London with Clean Break and Sounding Out

In May 2025 we began the ‘soft launch’ of our 30th Anniversary Celebrations with a special showcase for the Lullaby Project partnership with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Rich Mix, with performances of lullabies written with parents from Clean Break and Sounding Out.

This project was made possible with support from Arts Council England, Cockayne Grants for the Arts (a Donor Advised Fund, held at The Prism Charitable Trust), the Fishmongers Company’s Charitable Trust, the Garrick Charitable Trust and the RCB Foundation.

The Rich Mix performance was also livestreamed – you can view the recording on our YouTube channel.

Feedback from the audience included:

“I loved the performance so, so much! The songs were beautifully composed and performed. Such an amazing opportunity for people to perform with the RPO and to hear people’s stories. So uplifting.”

 “A wonderful, moving and joyful experience. The songs were so lovely and so brilliantly performed.”

“Everyone was incredible and truly inspiring. The love you could feel radiating from the stage and throughout the room.”

“Every one of the performers should be extremely proud.”

“It was so beautiful! thank you so much for sharing your stories and families – it touched me so deeply. I have suffered the loss of my baby brother and the story of the child that died really was like a gift to all of us who have suffered in that way. So much love and gratitude.”

Thanks to Tracey Kirby for these beautiful photographs from the performance at Rich Mix.

Four of the lullabies were also performed live to a pre-show audience at the Cadogan Hall. These photos are by Tim Lutton:
