What a relaxing session we had yesterday at our Sound Bowls & Singing workshop.
A calm pause in the working day, with time to slow down, listen, and reset through sound and voice.

If you haven’t already, make sure you’ve booked your place for the upcoming sessions in our Music, Health & Wellbeing programme.

Last night we hosted our Christmas Choir Concert, one of the biggest events in the Music in Offices calendar. It was a wonderful evening bringing together workplace choirs from SEI, Fleet Street Quarter, Channel 4, and many others to sing side by side and celebrate the season at the beautiful Holy Sepulchre London.

We were proud to support Drum Works as our chosen charity, alongside performances from our choirs, conductors, and trumpeter Sebastian Carpenter. The concert was full of energy, generosity, and a real sense of community.

Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the evening such a success.

What an incredible evening at Trafalgar Square tonight ❄️🎶

Our choir filled the square with music, and the magic truly began when people from the crowd started joining in. Voices blended, strangers connected, and for a moment the whole community became one warm festive choir in the heart of London.

And yes—even the little ones (four-legged included!) needed some encouragement…
➡️ Don’t miss the festive helper in the final slide! 🐶❤️

Our November Culture Club was a trip to experience the beautiful evensong at St Paul's Cathedral.
It was lovely to be joined by our choir members and pupils from nearby workplaces - we were in reserved seats in the Quire, right up close to the choir in the stunning space there to take in the stillness and peace. Much needed after a noisy day of budget announcements and briefings!
(Anyone can enjoy evensong at the cathedral daily at 5pm and at 3pm at weekends.)

If you want to be able to offer people in your office more cultural experiences, get in touch to see how we can harmonise your workplace!

Planning your team’s festive get-together? 🎄

If you’re looking for something a little different to the usual quiz or night out, why not try...

Singing? !

At this time of year, music is everywhere and singing together is one of the simplest (and most joyful) ways to connect. It breaks down barriers, boosts confidence and leaves everyone with that unmistakable 'feel-good' glow.

Even if you have a full team of “I can’t sing!” types 🙊 - we promise an activity that is relaxed and full of laughter. No solos, no pressure, lots of fun.

Whether you’d like to:
🎶 Bring your team together for a one-off festive singing workshop
✨ Learn a song to perform at your company celebration
💫 Or end the year with an uplifting wellbeing experience

Music in Offices has it covered, creating experiences that build connection, confidence and community through music.

Get in touch to explore what's possible and we'll have you feeling like jingly bells in no time.
