PAPER LANTERN COLLECTIVE
We look forward to meeting you!
PAPER LANTERN COLLECTIVE is the first community music collective in Germany working both nationally and internationally. We are a democratic, non-hierarchical collective that aims to transform the status quo: in the music industry and in communities. We launch large community music projects, create encounters on equal terms across social boundaries, bring people and communities together with music and celebrate our shared creativity.
We are based on the Sonnenberg, and we would like to get to know all our neighbours here. We would also like to network with all interested citizens, as well as institutions and associations from the cultural and music scene and social work.
COMMUNITY MUSIC is FOR EVERYONE
We sing, we celebrate, we eat together, we chat, we do arts and crafts and build things. We meet as equals and create together.
Everyone has music in them, their own voice, a favourite piece of music, memories of a particular song – everyone is an artist. Whether they have previous experience or not, our workshops bring together anyone who wants to come and make music, sing, discover, experiment or create new things.
Together with local people and institutions, we are developing a community programme of diverse workshops: community choirs, jam sessions, family activities, singing for senior citizens, street bands, neighbourhood festivals...
Our activities are always free of charge and everyone is welcome.
