A new, inclusive music project has been announced by Merton Music Foundation (MMF) in partnership with TiME (Technology in Music Education UK).

Resonance Ensemble will launch on 22 May and run till 31 July. It will bring together accessible music technology, creative collaboration and inclusive practice, celebrating Drum & Bass and electronic dance music through blending live performance with sampling, editing and triggering.

Young people aged 14–25 with additional learning needs will join instrumentalists from mainstream schools in what will be MMF’s first fully accessible open ensemble.

Resonance will culminate in a video performance celebrating the creativity of all involved. It will also lay the groundwork for a new ongoing technology-led ensemble from September 2025, shaping more inclusive practice across MMF’s wider youth music programme.
