Apollo Music Projects transforms the lives of disadvantaged children through the magic of live classical music. Since 2004, over 11,000 children from primary and special schools in deprived parts of London have benefited from our programmes, on an exciting journey from classroom to a concert hall.

Situation
Our programmes aim to tackle the educational and personal disadvantages that children in deprived areas encounter. The children we work with can suffer from low educational attainment and aspiration, poor concentration and self-confidence, with limited access to high-quality artistic and educational experiences. All children have the right to be enriched by music and to benefit from the improved self-confidence, concentration and sense of entitlement that our programme can bring.
Solution
Our project uses music to improve children's listening, communication and concentration, which in turn benefits general learning and attainment. Our project gives children a sense of belonging and unlimited possibilities through working closely with talented musicians. We tackle inequality of cultural access by providing high-quality educational and artistic experiences at local arts venues, making these children feel welcome in a classical music environment.
