Learning & Engagement
Our Learning & Engagement programme is at the core of our work, and involves thousands of people in the joy of music-making. The projects we create are rooted in our residency communities. Through high quality, relevant and compelling programmes, we aim to inspire, excite, empower and engage a broad range of participants. As committed collaborators we design our projects with a wide range of partners, from residency venues and music education hubs to community groups and local authorities.
