World Kindness Day: join the free Kind Rebellion event

New Note Orchestra musicians playing on stage

To celebrate World Kindness Day on Wednesday 13 November, New Note Orchestra will premier Kind Rebellion at Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts. It’s a free lunchtime concert of uplifting music, poetry and animations that celebrate kindness.

Kindness is important to us here at Sussex. It’s something we try to embed in everything we do. Researchers from our School of Psychology are studying how kindness literally makes the world a better place to live in.

After the performance there’ll be a panel discussion with Bernadette Russell, author of the Little Book of Kindness, Professor Robin Banerjee and Jo Cutler, who are leading research into the psychology of kindness at Sussex, and other kindness experts from the London School of Economics and University of Essex.

New Note Orchestra is an award-winning charity based in Brighton that uses performing music and storytelling to help people recover from addition to drugs and alcohol. It’s the first recovery orchestra in the world. Kind Rebellion has been composed to show how being kind to yourself and everyone else is good for our mental health.

Tickets are free but to be sure of your place, book a seat at ACCA’s website.
