We use our voice to advocate for the role of music in improving the population’s health and wellbeing and championing local communities and their aspirations.
Our Regenerate series and Tea break conversations help us share best practice and learning, and encourage ideas exchange with people from outside the orchestral sector.

Our Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation uplift will enable us to create a three-year strategy, which tests and develops new ideas and ways of working with our communities, as well as extending our influence and leadership within the orchestral sector.
