Around 80 children from Triangle, Stockwell, Holmewood and Fenstanton nurseries in the London borough of Lambeth took part in the Colourscape Music Festival held on Clapham Common on 13 September. They performed 'The Elements' - music inspired by earth, air, fire and water - inside a giant walk-in inflatable sculpture made up of 100 coloured chambers. The event followed a five-day workshop with a percussionist, singer and instrument maker. The children made their own instruments, including panpipes, rainsticks and shakers. Colourscape is funded by Sure Start, the Foundation for Youth Music and local authorities. For forthcoming workshops contact Simon Desorgher on 020 8763 9298.
