What is Sing To Thrive?
In Spring 2026, a series of events will take place across the borough that feature existing choirs as well as ‘come and sing’ opportunities for the community. Sing to Thrive will promote the health and social benefits of singing, and provide a range of performance opportunities for choirs.
Wandsworth Council has commissioned the composition of two news songs which will be performed as part of Sing to Thrive. Two composers, Bernard Hughes and Aga Serugo-Lugo, have been selected by a panel of local music partners, including Wandsworth Music, World Heart Beat and National Opera Studio. One of the new songs will be written for existing choirs and singing groups, and the other will be co-created with community and healthcare settings for those who may struggle to access singing opportunities. Both songs will be at the heart of the Sing to Thrive programme and will be performed at the Sing to Thrive finale event.
