Join in Generations

The RSNO’s Generations project focuses on building connections and friendships through music making between Upper Primary school pupils and adults living with Dementia from one of Meeting Centre Scotland’s meeting centres. This project encourages participants to take part in singing, music making, the playing of instruments, and sharing stories in a caring environment, with the aim of encouraging cross-generational relationships.

In March 2024 members from Kirrie Connections and P7s from Northmuir Primary School, led by Stephen Deazley, joined together in a culmination event with members of Dundee Chorus Academy and musicians from the RSNO.

In June 2025, members from Lochside Connections and P5s from Langlands Primary School, led Daniela Hathaway and mentored and conducted by Stephen Deazley, will join together in a sharing session with members of Dundee Chorus Academy and musicians from the RSNO.

The RSNO, in partnership with Luminate, are creating song resources and videos as a legacy of the project that can used by people across Scotland to bring their communities together.
