Music for Change celebrates its 10th anniversary Music for Change was founded in 1997 as an educational charity to promote awareness, understanding and respect for cultural diversity through music and the performing arts. Over the last ten years Music for Change has built a unique and innovative practice through creative thinking and action; with artists, educators and development specialists as our partners. We continue to believe not only in the intrinsic value of music and the arts, but how these can play a vital role in breaking down barriers between people and cultures. Our role is to encourage people to celebrate cultural commonality and diversity whilst challenging preconceptions and prejudice. We work with skilled and experienced artists from around the world to deliver dynamic and exciting events, workshops, projects, residencies and creative cultural encounters. Our artists work in schools, community centres, festivals, venues, colleges, detention centres, churches……. in fact just about anywhere!
In its ten years, Music for Change has touched the lives of over 670,000 people – children, young people and adults alike.
