📢 Help us share the transformative power of live music today.

Kings Place Music Foundation are proud to introduce our Community Club, our new initiative partnering with organisations across Islington and Camden to offer exciting opportunities for local people to participate in our work.

Despite the incredible changes seen around King’s Cross in recent years, we know that financial barriers and lack of knowledge are a huge factor excluding local people from enjoying cultural activities. Through the Community Club, we will give away up to 500 free tickets to youth programmes, families in need, older people and more, who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity.

Giving away free tickets is part of a wider plan for the Community Club and with your support, we can offer even more engagement opportunities for people living across Islington and Camden.

But we can’t do this alone. We need your help to get the scheme off the ground.

Join us in making a difference today:

1️⃣ £25 is enough to support an older person to see one of our world-class concerts for free
2️⃣ £100 could ensure a family of four can take part in our child-friendly performances
3️⃣ £500 might inspire the next generation of young musicians with an after-school

You can donate £5 by texting COMMUNITYCLUB to 70085 or donate online via the link: kingsplace.co.uk/DonateToday

We are proud to announce a very special event with composer, violinist & sound artist Ruby Colley. On Sat 1 Feb, across a matinee performance and evening concert, Ruby shares her new vocal work Hello Halo inspired by her non-verbal brother's modes of communication, performed with vocal group EXAUDI Vocal Ensemble and ensemble.

Both the evening and shorter matinee concerts will present an exclusive preview of a film documenting the process of Hello Halo, giving audiences a view into the world of Paul & his unique collaboration with his sister, before Ruby and Exaudi perform the piece itself.

Conducted by James Weeks, Hello Halo is shaped by Ruby’s own (a neurodiverse musician) & her brother’s lived experience but is aimed at both neurodiverse & neurotypical audiences.
