Situation
Numerous segments of society lack sufficient opportunities to actively participate in culture. The enriching experience of live music and its well-documented positive effects on health and well-being should be delivered in meaningful and accessible ways to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Unfortunately, this is frequently not the case, as both the availability of such opportunities and the level of accessibility, both physically and psychologically, fall short of what is needed.
Solution
The Music Festival creates avenues for positive involvement, discovery, and growth. Our offerings encompass year-round music programmes in schools and two annual concerts. The Relaxed Concert, specifically designed for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) schools, provides equal opportunities, and a relaxed environment, for children with additional needs. Alongside our traditional concert hall events, an informal 'Around Town' programme brings culture to harder-to-reach communities.
