    Situation

    COVID-19 has been devastating for music-making and communities across Wales. Performers, composers, and practitioners lost their livelihoods overnight. Social distancing regulations to keep people safe will mean that performances for audiences, residencies for schools and support for aspiring composers and musicians cannot happen in the same way. We need to reimagine how we and Wales’ musicians and composers create and make music with communities.

    Solution

    People in Wales will be at the heart of our music-making. Our performers, composers, and practitioners and those of our partner Mid Wales Opera, will work with us to bring people together through music in a way that is relevant to them and to our times. Through online film and audio recordings we will share each unique journey as schools, and community groups join our musicians to create, perform and experience music which relates to their locality and to their lives.
