    A powerful modern-day story of friendship triumphing over heartbreak and loss, told through spoken word, song and rap and accompanied by the orchestra.

    Winning a Royal Philharmonic Society award in 2023, The Endz is an original piece created by incredible young artists from south London who are members of The Multi-Story Orchestra.

    It’s an authentic story of the friendship between young people in Peckham and the realities of living in an unequal society.

    The Endz celebrates our power to come through anything stronger and to care for each other – even when things are at their toughest.

    The Multi-Story Orchestra are celebrated as one of the most exciting young ensembles in the UK.

    They’ve made a name for themselves giving extraordinary performances, telling stories and unleashing creativity in unexpected places – including multi-storey car parks.
