Arts Council England’s Change Makers campaign offered a catalyst to improve progression paths, create visible role models and professional opportunities within the sector. With a strong record in spearheading change, we were the only disabled-led music programme to receive funding through the scheme.
From the start, the aim was to begin a process of transformation reaching far beyond audience development; we aspired to change the nature of the orchestral workforce, create exceptional music, and embrace the creativity and inspiration that comes through working with the most diverse range of people.
