A national tour of healing through music
At our Aldeburgh premiere we discovered something profound: when film and live music converged, audiences experienced more emotional resonance and connection. Many found themselves connecting nt only with George's story of loss, but with their own memories of loved ones. They shared with us that we had created a space where they could openly feel their grief and be held. Building on this learning, we're launching a national tour of immerseive events designed to create meaningful spaces for reflection, connection and healing across communities in the UK.
We will host these immersive events at hospices, arts organisations, and community centres across the UK.
Our hope is that this event format will create safe spaces for processing grief, make classical music more accessible, and foster community connection through shared experience.

Testimonials
“I’ve been stressed and felt ‘stuck’ of late and the music allowed me to soften and make room to experience my feelings. I was blown away by the film - I rarely listen to classical music now, but I’m inspired to find out more about Schubert. Today provided some much needed connection with others and it introduced new avenues of interest which I shall look into."
"The film and discussion showed me that my response to grief was normal. It was so empowering - sharing and connecting had a healing effect."
"The film touched my soul."
"The film has a quiet authenticity - a way of reaching that was moving, gentle, and reminded me of acceptance along with the pain. The session was beautifully facilitated, gentle and respectful of those in the room. It created a very safe space to explore thoughts and feelings and to be authentic together."
"The film expanded the fabric of my heart and brought a topic so often unrecognised and unvoiced out in the open, in a beautiful way."
"Schubert was the perfect tool to express sadness and love and grief."
