Teenagers exposing the reality of youth gang culture today through rap, song, spoken word and orchestral music.

What to expect
Following the death of one of their friends, a group of incredible teenagers decided they wanted to tell their own story exposing the reality of youth gang culture today through music.
Together with The Multi-Story Orchestra they created The Endz, which tells the story of two friends torn apart by gang violence through rap, song, and spoken word.
This hugely powerful performance combines a classical orchestra with the energy and honesty of it’s young performers.
The Multi-Story Orchestra will be working with young people across Gloucester who will be part of this one-off performance in Gloucester.
“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.” – Nathaniel Casaclang
