Wemba's Dream
Join the Journey
Join Wembley Park and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for the second installation of Wemba's Dream - a free performance of music, dance, poetry and carnival arts that celebrates the unique and diverse communities of Brent.
Emerging from last year's doldrums, Wemba's Dream: Join the Journey is finally becoming a reality at Wembley Park on 3 September 2023. Featuring brand-new music from contemporary composer Dani Howard, Wemba's Dream: Join The Journey combines a live orchestra with short performances creating a one-of-a-kind audiovisual experience. As the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra play, they'll be joined by Mahogany Carnival Arts, spoken word group WordUp and the Sujata Banerjee Dance Company for a multi-dimensional event that explores the theme of journey and brings together the best of Brent through a unique sensory performance in Wembley Park.
Free tickets for Wemba's Dream: Join The Journey will be available soon. Stay tuned to find out more.

Wemba's Dream: Join The Journey
When Wemba first journeyed to settle on the hill that would be named Wemba’s Lea (or Wembley), it was just the first of multitudes of journeys from people across the world to the heart of Brent.
No matter who we are, we all take our own journeys that shape our lives in ways we could never expect: from beginnings of hope and anticipation, to the emotional highs and lows of joy, sadness and self-discovery, and the new perspectives we find that change how we see the world. Celebrate the resilience of those who cross oceans and continents to find a place to call home in their journeys of struggle, overcoming barriers, finding freedom and telling their stories through art.
