Inspiring children and young people
We provide vital opportunities for children and young people to engage with live orchestral music for the first time.
Find out more about some of our recent projects that are helping to inspire children and young people...
Share Sound
Share Sound developed inclusive virtual ensembles in 6 counties across England during the Covid-19 pandemic, enabling professional orchestras to work with Music Hubs and explore the digital creative space for ensemble music making.
Cumbria Calling
Since 2016, our Cumbria Calling projects have been inspiring young musicians and have established an ever-growing young composer group in the county.
We Have to Move On
We collaborated with Suffolk Archives, Britten Sinfonia and the National Horse Racing Museum on a project inspired by the story of Fritz Ball, a Jewish lawyer and musician who fled Nazi Germany with his family and his cello.
