Free Performance of 'Wemba's Dream' with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & local creatives on Saturday 11am-4pm

 

 

Readers may recall from Philip Grant's local history articles that Wembley gets its name from Wemba, who founded his family's settlement here and 'lea' meaning a clearing in what was then a forest - 'Wemba Lea'  (Yes, the cry of football fans, 'Wemberley!')

The Royal Philharmonic Orhestra who are soon to moved to Wembley and local creatives are putting on live performance experience for people of all ages in different venues around Wembley Park (see map below).

 

There will be four performances featuring music, dance, carnival, spoken word, film and theatre.

 

Performances are only 15 mins long and repeated throughout the day, so you can come along and make your own timetable.

 


All the performances have been created in collaboration between Royal Philharmonic Orchestra musicians and local creatives to explore the theme of dreaming and dreams…
