Why your support matters

  • ✽

    Every note you hear at a DEBUT concert represents years of training, hours of rehearsal and creative collaboration across the industry.
    Your donation helps us…

  • fair pay

    Our first priority as a charitable organisation is to pay artists fairly for their work.

  • new work

    For 2025, our resident pianist and composer Sam Peña composed new pieces for our guest artists at our Secret Concerts, called the DEBUT Suite. Our aim for 2026 is to pay Sam to write these pieces, get them recorded, and share them on Spotify.

  • education

    Run masterclasses, mentoring and Opera in a Day workshops

  • collaboration

    Bring live music to new audiences in inspiring spaces - from private homes, to feats of engineering, museums and grand palaces

  • professional development

    Horizon Project is our Artist Development Programme, where we provide coaching, professional headshots, marketing and creative enterprise support, recordings and masterclasses.

“It's thrilling to bring classical music to an audience who wouldn't normally attend traditional concerts and get them excited about it and to be able to share a glass of wine and tell them what they should see next!"

Manu Brazo, saxophonist

“The setting is so intimate and wonderfully relaxed, making a really special performance atmosphere where one doesn't feel hindered by the normal pressures of concert performing. I love singing there.”

Meriel Cunningham, mezzo soprano

“LOVE this event. Its so uplifting and joyous. The musicians are top notch, the music entertaining and the locations are magical. I couldnt recommend this enough. Ive been 6 times and hope to go many more as each show is a totally different experience”

Sam Wells, audience member

  • Get in touch directly with our Founder and Artistic Director by sending us an email via our contact page.

  • We began operating as a Charitable Organisation in August 2025, this is also when we appointed our Trustees, set up our Governing Document and submitted our application to the Charities Commission.

    Currently the Charities Commission has an 18 week delay in reviewing applications, so we hope we will get our official registration number in the early part of 2026.
