The creative team includes composers, a music technologist (to support light-footed implementations of assistive technologies for use by disabled musicians), a media artist and musicians. The season will culminate in a mixed media performance at Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood, co-created and performed by all participants in March 2009.

The theme for the season is Connecting Across Difference. This is intended to catalyse imaginative and playful explorations of the joys and the strains (or challenges) of encountering, communicating and coming to know people who are different; who speak differently, have different ambitions, interests, skills and abilities, or who have different traditions and histories.
