Orchestras Live welcomes a new report from Music for Dementia and UK Music, which outlines a blueprint to use music to help transform communities and improve the nation’s health and wellbeing.

A new immersive musical story with orchestral repertoire at its core, The Maple Tree, evolved from many years of work with young and family audiences co-produced by City of London Sinfonia and Orchestras Live. Devised and performed entirely by the orchestral musicians, it evolved naturally from the previous projects, in which the players had become increasingly invested. Katherine Spencer, Principal Clarinet at City of London Sinfonia (CLS) reflects on her experience of devising The Maple Tree.
