Greetings from Team Songbound
Read on for photos and videos from our end-of-syllabus concert in February, and our first ever choir-leader profile! We also have a lovely blog to share from Gwen Martin, who visited Songbound projects with our CEO Joe Walters in February. Last but not least, we will be introducing Trustee Ratna Merugumalla, who joined the board in November 2018.
“The first few phrases the children sang as a 300-strong choir at the rehearsal on the day of the concert moved me to tears. They sing with such vigour and abandon and the sound is overwhelming. To harness all this energy and give these children a chance to express themselves was a privilege. Overall, I had the most rewarding experience of my career during my week in Mumbai.”
Gwen worked with our choirs and choir-leaders for ten days to prepare them for the February concert.
Ratna Merugumalla
Ratna is our newest Trustee. She is a Consultant in Emergency Medicine, working in the NorthWest Anglia NHS Foundation Trust.
Ratna heard about Songbound whilst doing a MBA, and after visiting Mumbai in 2017 was delighted to join the UK Board.
