Situation
For many young people in the West Midlands who face significant economic and social barriers to participation in the arts, opportunities to experience live music are only available through their school. The CBSO has long had a deep commitment to offering musical opportunities to these young people. We aim to reach as many schools as possible to ensure that these first encounters with music are of the highest quality.
Solution
We aim to hold the following concerts per year: 4 KS3 concerts (ages 11-14) – anticipated audience is around 6,500 young people; 2 KS2 concerts (ages 7-11) – anticipated audience is in the region of 1500 children; 5 KS1 concerts (ages 5-7) – anticipated audience is 650-700 children; 4 Relaxed Performances for all ages – with the aim of meeting the varying needs of the audience, these concerts are programmed and delivered in a very flexible format. Anticipated audience is 700-750 children.
