Young people in Bristol will be embarking on a music making journey together with the announcement of their successful bid for the city council's Colston Hall and young people's music project, Remix.
Raising the bar of expectation, ambitious plans have been put in place for the 'Bristol Music Manifesto', in partnership with St George's Bristol as well as collaborations with the Philharmonia Orchestra, Emerald Ensemble, The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Bristol Arts and Music Services and other music organisations across the city.
Over the year-long framework the funding will be implemented to encourage children and young people to get involved in musical activities which are to include:
- Learning through music (competitions, performance and extra provision)
- Music provision in half of Bristol's nursery and early years settings
- Focus on Year 6 pupils to ease the transition from primary to secondary school
- Connecting out-of-school music making with school-based learning
- Access to free and low-cost concert tickets at Colston Hall and St George's
- Support networks for music practitioners to work more effectively with children and young people.
