The Endz is an original piece of music created by an incredible group of young people in Peckham with the world-famous Multi-Story Orchestra – an orchestra that performs in car parks around the UK.
It brings together rap, spoken word and songs to shed light on how social inequality impacts young people, in their own words. This is their story, their words, their music.
Following the death of a friend in 2019, The Endz was created by an incredible group of young people to tell a modern-day story of friendship, heartbreak and loss – through spoken word, rap, and song.
Knife crime figures in Southwark went up by a shocking 60% in 2018. It was the London borough with the highest number of fatal stabbings. £39 million has been cut from council youth service budgets across the capital and Southwark’s youth service spending is down by 53% since 2011-12.
The Endz faces these issues head-on, with an unrivalled blend of virtuosic musicianship and powerful social commentary.
The performance features a choir of over 100 singers accompanied by a full symphony orchestra. It will be performed in Bold Tendencies’ car park with its spectacular views of London.
“As young people, we are told that we have the power to change things, but people are still not listening to us. Nothing changes. This is our way of spreading the word and we hope people will listen.”
– The Endz singer, Nathaniel Casaclang
