We believe everyone should be able to access and experience the joy of live music. Help us take one step closer.

Join presenter Mark Radcliffe as he talks about how music was a reassuring presence in his life as he recovered from throat and neck cancer. Like many of us, Mark has personal connection to music as a musician and BBC radio broadcaster.

At some point in our lives, most of us will be a patient in a hospital or care home. Thatā€™s why Music in Hospitals & Care shares live music in places you wouldnā€™t normally experience it. Together we will make sure everyone can access and experience the joy of live music.
