Port Sounds is a community-based project designed to expand access to music for Newport residents of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds. Delivered by Operasonic, the initiative will offer free, high-quality music experiences through taster sessions, Welsh music workshops for families, lullaby and song writing projects, and inclusive public performances. The project supports community wellbeing, celebrates cultural diversity, and builds social cohesion through creative engagement.
Get Gigging! aims to reach young, aspiring musicians from some of Newport’s most deprived areas and equip them with the practical knowledge, confidence and inspiration to do exactly that: get gigging. Through a series of mentor sessions with industry professionals and a showcase performance opportunity at Newport's Corn Exchange music venue, young people will gain invaluable skills not just for music careers but for life.
Resonate is a music-based community engagement initiative designed to amplify the voices and talents of marginalised groups in Newport, particularly Gypsy, Roma asylum-seeking communities. Through inclusive workshops, cultural exchanges, and collaborative performances, Resonate seeks to promote integration, expression, and empowerment using music as a common language. A key feature of the project is a culture-sharing event, bringing together communities to celebrate and share our Citys heritage.
Sonic Scrap is an inclusive, community-driven junk orchestra project that uses music to engage people of all ages with sustainability and climate justice.
