Who we work with

We believe live music needs to be part of everyone’s health and social care. That’s why want to share the healing power of live music as widely as possible. Find out more about who we work with below.

We work closely with hospitals across the UK to share the many benefits of live music. We reach everyone from new-born babies to older people, everywhere from intensive care to outpatient departments.

Live music offers comforting contact for those who are critically ill, their families and health and care staff. So, we work together with hospices and palliative care services.

Our professional musicians share live music with older people living in and visiting care homes and day centres. This helps to tackle loneliness, strengthen relationships, and creates moments of connection for people living with dementia and those who care for them.

Carmarthen Breakthro

“You can see how the children light up with the music, engaging in their own way, whether it’s through dancing, clapping, or simply soaking in the atmosphere. Live music helps create a shared space where everyone is included and valued.”

Sharing joy with Northern Ireland Hospice

“Being able to give someone near the end of their life that little bit of something pretty, something moving, something meaningful or a memory for the whole family to take away with them is very worthwhile.”
