Orchestra Unwrapped lights sparks of musical inspiration.

Beneficiaries
Due to a systematic lack of funding there is a chronic lack of access to the spark of inspiration that music offers children in ways that boost their creativity, attainment & confidence across the curriculum. ISM reports a 68% reduction in music provision in UK primaries. Without regular, inspiring musical experiences, children miss out — not only on the joy of music itself, but on its wider benefits: increased confidence, communication skills, and cross-curricular learning.
Our long-standing partnerships with local schools, including SEND schools, and Music Hubs ensure activities are accessible, engaging and relevant to the curriculum. We offer additional training and resources to enable children to benefit throughout the academic year. Orchestra Unwrapped is delivered by a dedicated team of professionals who receive training to deliver creative workshops for specific ages, needs and levels. Evidence from previous years conforms the need and efficacy of our model.
