Our passion, that people from all backgrounds, areas and ages should have the opportunity to participate in and be inspired by the highest quality orchestral provision, drives everything we do. We work in places which have suffered under-investment for many years, including rural and coastal areas. Our projects can take place in a wide range of community settings including schools, care homes, arts venues, village/community halls, libraries, outdoors and online. Our programme of activity involves work in the areas of community development, health and wellbeing, children and young people and workforce development, ensuring everyone has access to, and can enjoy the benefits of, live orchestral music, regardless of their background. We are proud of the steps we have taken with our partners, but we know that there is much still to be done to engage new audiences, break down social, economic and demographic barriers to access and support the development of an orchestral profession that reflects the diversity of today’s society.

We are a small team of 14 employees based across England, who work flexibly. We are creative and entrepreneurial in our approach to our work and supported by a Board of 12 trustees. Most team members work in a hybrid way, combining working from home with days in the office. Our head office is in Leeds, and we have a smaller office in Central London. We have monthly in-person team days in both locations, which provide opportunities to collaborate and connect.
