We are dedicated to supporting aspiring musicians, music leaders and arts professionals in achieving their full potential. Through our Creative Leadership programmes we want to nourish the vibrant musical ecosystem of East London and beyond. We’re building a community of musicians, championing innovation and accessibility in the arts, and empowering individuals to contribute to the future of music.

  • New Young Voice Collective

    The New Young Voice Collective (NewYVC) is our open access vocal group for young people ages 11-19, designed to empower young people with confidence and creative skills. The group meets every Tuesday at Spotlight Youth Centre. NewYVC runs on a model of collective leadership, with training opportunities from day one. Members get the chance to join the Young Artist scheme, which provides one-to-one support, conducting courses, music exams, performance opportunities, and support into higher education.

  • Music Leadership

    Our Music Leadership programmes sustain the sector, providing skills development and empowering musicians to innovate in their communities. Our Trainee Music Leader scheme offers musicians the opportunity to build skills through hands-on experience, training, and mentorship from sector professionals. Throughout the year our Skills Lab sessions bring together leaders to explore new concepts and develop techniques for working in a diverse set of contexts.

  • Trainee Trustees

    We’re committed to equipping individuals with the tools they need to play a role in shaping the future of the industry. Each year, we welcome a group of Trainee Trustees who gain experience in governance by participating in board meetings, attending training sessions and receiving mentorship. Through this initiative, both our organisation and the wider arts sector benefit from the inclusion of more diverse perspectives and experiences.

Bespoke Training

With years of experience producing CPD programmes, we have the expertise to design innovative and impactful training programmes. We can work closely with you to create bespoke training tailored to your organisation’s needs, sharing our knowledge of the sector and practical insights to upskill leaders working in the arts.
