Saffron Sounds workshops will take place in primary schools in Essex in the Spring and Summer terms 2023. These half-day workshops are designed for a class of Key Stage 2 students. Inspired by the story of the Voyager Golden record students will be led through a process to collaboratively create a piece of music reflecting their lives on earth.

These half-day workshops will encourage students to collaborate and create a piece of music that reflects their lives. Led by members of the Jess Gillam ensemble the workshops will provide a positive, interactive musical experience with a focus on creativity and collaboration. The workshops will encourage students to explore their musical talents, experiment with the interrelated dimensions of music, and work together to produce a unique and meaningful piece of music.

By drawing on the story of the Voyager Golden record, students will be inspired to think about the power of music to connect people from different cultures and backgrounds. They will learn about the history of the record and the music that was included on it, and will be encouraged to think about the music that they would want to share with the universe.
