Every year, the BSO’s award-winning programme creates over 50,000  opportunities for adults, children and young people, to learn, experience and create music – building connections, improving health & wellbeing and enriching creativity and learning.

With inclusion at the heart of all our work we actively challenge barriers to music, working with a wealth of specialist partners and a network of BSO Associate music leaders across the Southwest.

From interactive schools’ performances and dementia friendly concerts, to inclusive rising talent and tailored health and wellbeing projects, BSO Participate takes exceptional music beyond the concert hall to the heart of our communities to enrich the cultural lives of people of all ages.
