Music in the UK is facing a multifaceted crisis, exacerbated by both funding cuts and the rising cost of living. Schools are losing music programmes and tight budgets make attending concerts a luxury, restricting access and perpetuating the perception of classical music as elitist. For others, the ability to attend concerts in person is limited by their physical and mental health. This vicious cycle deprives both individuals and society at large of the transformative power of music.

Through a combination of world class performance and digital innovation, The English Concert is in the process of filming every single piece of Handel's music, creating a free and accessible online resource for everyone. With vivid and engaging performances, knowledge and insight from Handel experts, and a programme of targeted outreach and development work founded on the wellspring of Handel's music, Handel for All will allow us to build a new legacy for the UK's most celebrated composer.
