Do you want to increase your membership, plan new collaborations or widen the scope of your music-making?

This event, brought to you by Drum + Brass, is about how to open our doors wider and embrace ideas and players in order to bring music-making in line with modern society. Join this event on Saturday 26th March 2022, from 10am-4pm.

With speakers Dr. Helen Minors from the Kingston School of Art, Carol Leeming MBE and guest workshop leaders, Drum+Brass are proud to invite you to this event which explores practical and equitable ways to do music inclusively.

Aimed at musicians, music teachers, music organisations and anyone with an interest in music-making, including those who may face barriers to doing so, the event aims to spark ideas and energy throughout the musical community.

This is equally an opportunity to meet colleagues, network and play, so bring your instrument and/or your voice.

Refreshments will be provided for all delegates. Parking is available at NCP carpark. To get £5.00 all-day parking, take your parking ticket to the Curve Box Office!
