Music Through Time

Join us for a special, in-person Coram Society event to celebrate Coram’s long engagement with music. John Caldicott, a former Foundling Hospital pupil, and Philippa Dodds John MBE, lead organiser of Coram’s Handel Birthday Concert, will help us explore the changing role of music in Coram’s history.

The objects around us are intertwined with our feelings and experiences. Exploring our relationship with objects can help us tell our stories and give us a greater understanding of other people and ourselves.

The Arla Great North Swim, has something for all ages and all abilities, whether you're a seasoned swimmer or a beginner. 2024 is the first year Coram has places in this event, so why not sign up for the challenge today.

Featuring works by artists such as Grayson Perry, Joshua Reynolds, Tracey Emin, Chantal Joffe, Paula Rego, Lucian Freud and Alice Neel, the exhibition explores our changing understanding of ‘family’ in the last 50 years and considers what it means today.
