Isle of Wight National Landscapes

IOW music collaborated with the IOW AONB team (now IW National Lapdscapes) who were successful in bidding for the IOW Unesco Biosphere Reserve status. For this project they helped us to create a list of 10 things you can do to help your Biosphere which appears in the song “Protect Our Island”. These 10 things were extrapolated from the 17 UN Sustainability Development Goals

MARDI GRAS SONGWRITING PROJECT, SUMMER TERM 2024, MARDI GRAS VOCAL WORKSHOP, SUMMER TERM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NEW CARNIVAL COMPANY

We are continuing our collaboration with The New Carnival Company to create and write with young people a new anthem to perform at Mardi Gras linked to their theme for this year. 

Schools signed up will receive a free creative workshop from the hub in the summer term to learn the chorus and create their own musical theme to sing, stomp, chant or play before the parade heads off on the day in July 2024!

You can hear the chorus for the new theme here and have a look at the music below.
