WE ARE SHE is an original choir piece about female empowerment, composed with girls and young women from Liverpool City Region, for the Breaking The Record music programme.
This online choir project was made up of vocal coaching sessions and collaborative songwriting workshops alongside discussions about female empowerment and equality. After some amazing conversations with the participants about what it is to be a young woman in the 21st century and particularly at a time when life is extra challenging, the song We Are She was composed.
As International Women’s Week is coming to an end, we're happy to present the virtual choir performance featuring all of the girls and women who have taken part. This video was produced by another talented woman from the Liverpool City Region: Jazamin Sinclair.

Breaking The Record
Breaking the Record is a high-profile accessible high-quality music-making workshop programme supporting ways into music-making, developed in consultation with girls and young women from around the Liverpool City Region.
I am leading a collaborative online choir. The project entails discussions about female empowerment and equality, which I will turn into an original choir piece. The composition will be performed online by all of the girls and women who have taken part.
I've always been an advocate for true gender equality and multiculturalism where as girls and women we can freely get to the heart of who we are and through creativity and express it without fear of condemnation or subjugation. Women are at the heart of humanity and when we find our true voices we find our confidence, self worth and strength. The creation of BTR choir will be a process of conversations about the positive aspects of who we are as girls and women, the strength there is to be found when we collaborate and the magic that can be produced when we share our collective talents.
The aim is to attract and recruit a wide range of representation from different communities, cultures and creative experiences so that we can truly learn more about ourselves and one another. I'm honoured to be facilitating the conversations and composing the choral work that will be performed by the virtual ensemble and also to create a sustainable foundation on which future musical development for girls and women can be recognised, respected and supported.
