From funding composers to co-create music with students, to staging large-scale performances, you have given hundreds of children the opportunity to be immersed in the creative world of music.
Sing My Story
For many children in Gloucestershire, access to high-quality, inspiring music education is simply out of reach. We believe every child deserves the chance to feel the pride of creating something truly special.
That's why we're bringing a specialist-led music programme to Gloucestershire primary schools starting in January 2026. The children taking part will write their own songs, and have the opportunity to come together and perform them in the fantastic venue of Tewkesbury Abbey in March.
