Music for Everyone

Music is a universal language that knows no boundaries and connects communities.

We invite all members of Bristol’s communities to share, celebrate and participate in creative projects, performances, workshops, networks and social meet-ups.

Our comprehensive programmes collaborate with Bristol’s diverse communities to make sure music is at the heart of our city.

Through the power of creating joyful music together, we hope to enrich lives, empower people with creative potential, and build healthy and happy communities.

Our Projects

Hope Creative

Hope Creative is our programme of work for children in care (CiC) from 7-18 years old and their community. Exploring singing and creative musical activities in a safe and supportive atmosphere, young people get the opportunity to: Learn, create, play, perform, write and record their very own music.

FLOW Creative

FLOW Creative is a regular music making club for disabled young musicians aged 11-25 who want to have fun, be creative, and make new music and new friends.

You can play instruments, write songs, compose, produce, sing, rap, and much more. We think that the more comfortable you are, the more creative you can be and all our sessions are fun, supporting and accessible.

The FLOW Creative is for young people at all levels of musical ability, whether you’ve been having lessons for years, are already part of an Open Orchestra at school, or have no experience but want to try something new.
