Ten years ago, violinist Sophie Till was in Scotland working with players from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. I was there too, attending her sessions and participating in a lesson. When I returned to In Harmony Liverpool, I did so feeling that Sophie’s work would soon change the way we taught our young string players.

The Glasshouse International Centre for Music is serious about helping children get an early start on musical enrichment.

The University of Liverpool’s recent study on In Harmony Liverpool bolsters a growing body of research on the impact of orchestral programs on youth resilience.

Across the U.K., choirs are coming together to raise their voices for change.
