Performance Notes | Since 2005 the Royal Albert Hall has worked with Teenage Cancer Trust to offer a series of music workshops to run each day. Our guests are able to take part in a fantastic music therapy workshop during which they get to play instruments, write songs, share their own experiences and form new friendships. Together we work hard to give these young people an amazing experience. Those involved will either be receiving treatment, in remission or in the palliative stages of the disease. For some, the supportive, positive atmosphere of the workshops enables them to reflect on personal experiences and journeys. For others, the sessions simply allow them to forget about the difficulties and traumas of treatment and focus on being a teenager again.
Danny O'Donoghue from The Script said: I really connected with the music. Were playing at the Teenage Cancer Trust Gigs at the RoyalAlbertHall tonight but meeting these young people has been the real highlight of the day (Twitter, @TeenageCancer, 30 March 2019) |
