The Showroom partnered with One World Orchestra, inviting participants to create music together in a series of workshops which culminated in a free, open-air concert in celebration of the Church Street neighbourhood, featuring music and sounds from around the world.

The event marked the end of Nassim Azarzar’s year-long mural commission: Hayat al Noujoum / La vie des étoiles. The performance premiered music co-created with local people in response to the mural: its colourful motifs and sound installation of voices sharing experiences of migration, displacement and belonging; connecting to Kurdistan, Iran, Venezuela, Morocco, Algeria, and beyond.
This event was part of the Westminster Inside Out Festival 2025.
