Our Schools Outreach strand sees us partnering with local schools to provide workshops, performance projects and music trips. In recent years we have partnered on:

• an Organ Inspiration Day for school children in Loughborough

• funding towards travel costs to allow a school brass band to take part in the National Youth Brass Championships for the first time

• ongoing equipment support for Charnwood College and Hinckley Schools Orchestra 

• donating substantial sets of brass and stringed instruments to two local primary schools, to enable them to establish brand new funded tuition programmes

• dozens of singing workshops in schools as part of community performance projects 

• funding exam fees for a very talented student from a low income household

• funding rehearsal sessions for a student in the care system, to enable them to take part in the festival with confidence
