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.
