We’re a grassroots, musician-led charity — created by musicians, for musicians and music lovers. Every concert helps us support the next generation of artists through performance, mentoring and community. Since 2017, we've hosted 120+ shows, welcomed 350+ exceptional performers, and built a loyal following for our warm, welcoming approach to classical music.
Most shows sell out quickly, so we recommend booking early to avoid missing out.

Total Raised: £7546
Lizzie, Marc, Ross & John teamed up to raise money and run for cause close to all our hearts, Arts4Dementia - helping people living with dementia enjoy more music and arts! We're especially running in memory of Marc's late father and for Ross' Grandma, Margaret, who adores the piano and singing. Music and the arts has a huge role to play in keeping the brain stimulated and active, as well and increasing confidence and social interaction of the elderly - both which often suffer as dementia takes hold.
