Despite its challenges, 2020/21 was a very successful year for sharing live music.
Our online programme #MusicEveryDay has helped live music become a part of people’s wellbeing routine. Personal and interactive, our professional musicians have continued to offer live music which stays true to what makes us special. We’ve been able to collaborate innovatively with our healthcare partners and musicians to share live music with thousands of people in a new, safe and accessible way.
By partnering with other organisations on specific projects, we have also been able to reach more people and raise awareness of the benefits of live music.
As you will read in the annual report, we are now returning to sharing in-person live music which is fantastic. But we are keeping our online programme for now so we can still reach people who can’t meet face to face.
Our vision is for live music to be an integral part of health and care across the UK. With your help, we will continue to share live music with people of all ages, from premature babies in hospitals, to older residents of care homes.
We hope you enjoy reading the report and that it gives you a good insight into all that’s been happening. We couldn’t do it without you – thank you so much for your continued support.
