Join us in celebration of Edinburgh 900 years of history! Our “Roots for routes” programme centres on honouring heritage and culture, helping us, as individuals and communities, grow towards the future.
“Music for a while — songs of love and resilience” is a concert that celebrates the transformative power of the arts and creativity in achieving and maintaining our wellbeing. Staff members, friends and service-users of Multi-Cultural Family Base are paired with Harmony Choir to deliver a repertoire of familiar tunes.
Multi-Cultural Family Base (MCFB) is a charity based in Leith, Edinburgh, which has spent the past 26 years promoting the wellbeing and life opportunities of marginalised children, young people and families of ethnically diverse backgrounds.
Harmony Choir is a not-for-profit 4-part harmony group led by musical director Ben Jones. It was set up in 2016 as part of a research project run by the University of Edinburgh, studying the effect of being in a choir on wellbeing, enjoyment and mental health. The choir is still going strong today, adding value to members’ lives.
