Who
We Are

I love the idea of New Note Orchestra. Orchestras are famously disciplined, supportive, and creative and these are all things that people recovering from addition need the most. They are also forums where people explore their talent and potential and I believe everyone has both even though it takes help for some people to realise it themselves. I really wish this fantastic initiative the very best in their important work.

I am delighted to hear that New Note Orchestra, the first recovery orchestra in the world for people with alcohol and addiction issues, is being launched in Brighton. I am sure that the project will be a huge success.

I dropped into a New Note Orchestra rehearsal. They practice at St Luke’s Church in my constituency... I’ve heard such wonderful things about New Note, I wanted to see for myself what they’re currently working on, and to speak to those involved. There’s a real energy about the group, and it was impressive to hear how far they’ve come in just a short space of time.

The parallel with the peer-support and mutual aid movement is clear; being part of a recovery group or community creates something that is greater than the individuals involved.
