Bringing Music Education to the West of England
In 2009, the Bristol Ensemble founded Preludes Music, an educational initiative dedicated to bringing high-quality live music directly to children who would otherwise be unable to access it. Now deeply rooted in the Bristol music community, and with over 80% of Preludes Music children living in areas experiencing economic and social challenges, Preludes Music stands as one of the most expansive project of its kind in the country, delivering musical opportunities to more than 3000 children each year.
“Such a joy to experience making music without the traditional barriers that can be put in place. Music should always be this accessible and fun! Thank you.” A parent
