Our Regional Producer for the Midlands, Sooree Pillay, argues that the sector should be more welcoming of a myriad of different routes to discovering orchestras.

As our colleague Jan Ford retired last year, she handed over a new strand of work she had been developing, Create Space, and our first made-for-digital commission. The result, Breathe, an immersive new orchestral film with Manchester Camerata, premiered this month after a year in development and production. The Producer team reflect on the making of our first event cinema film.

Orchestras Live launches ground-breaking new film, Breathe, as part of a new national screening tour.

Sarah Derbyshire, our CEO, introduces the headlines from her co-authored report, Orchestras in Healthcare, outlining what she believes the sector needs to do next to extend provision and opportunities to more healthcare settings across the UK.
