Support us

We believe orchestras are for everyone

We work in partnership with local communities to enable people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and locations to enjoy and engage with music throughout their lives.

Our work leaves behind healthier, happier, stronger creative communities.

Support from our partners and funders enables:

  • Vital creative projects with children and young people that improve their skills, confidence and life chances.
  • Life-affirming shared experiences that lead to better health and wellbeing and reduced isolation.
  • Creative collaborations with local communities that strengthen pride and cohesion and bring demonstrable social value.

I just want to say thank you really. This project has changed my life. Before this, I never thought that I would be able to perform in public. It has helped me with my confidence and meant that I can do things that I never thought possible.
