Schools minister Andrew Adonis has today announced the five successful music partnership bids to be awarded one-year funding from government.

They are:
Bristol Colston Hall
Devon Education Services
The Hallé and North West Music Partnership
The London Symphony Orchestra with the Barbican

The emphasis of the successful partnership bids was to improve music education through collaborative working, making their music offer more than the sum of its parts.
