On 17 January 2023, Orchestras Live, the Association of British Orchestras and the National Performance Advisory Group (NPAG) for Arts, Heritage and Design in Hospitals combined to run the second online event bringing together arts and health programme developers and managers from orchestras and hospitals.

The event focused on the value of collaboration in developing holistic programmes and unlocking resources for orchestras and hospitals working together.

We were joined by guest speakers who shared their perspective on the topic and stimulated debate which took place in regional break out groups.
