We use orchestral music as a common currency with concert-goers who might not otherwise engage with the subject of refugee migration. The orchestra acts as a vehicle for refugee stories in the concert hall, told by those with lived experience, through music, poetry, film, dance, and other art forms. Refugees feature front-and-centre in our performances and are involved in co-creating new works for programmes. Odyssey currently provides regular music and poetry workshops to unaccompanied refugee children and young people in Oxford, acting as a platform for co-creation.
