"Music is such a powerful tool. It’s cross-curricular, it’s confidence-building, it’s sociable & it allows children to express themselves. That’s why it’s so important to have organisations like this getting out there into schools & communities!"👉Bit.ly/BFBigGive

Sir James MacMillan, has come together with Nicola Benedetti to call for BBC Radio Scotland to reverse their decision to axe Classics Unwrapped and other ‘specialist' music shows from the schedule. Please support and add your voice to the petition here: chng.it/DXbt5yDJyj.

🙌 Overjoyed to announce that 12 young musicians from #BigNoiseGovanhill & #BigNoiseRaploch will be embarking on a journey to India this month to take part in the 'Concert for Friendship', celebrating friendship through music and the bonds between our vibrant cultures 🇮🇳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎶

I urge Dundee City Council councillors to keep their promise to the #BigNoise Douglas community and work with Sistema Scotland to help create an inclusive society. Please invest in our children’s future. If you share my passion, sign the petition at chng.it/QLMpp4MT

So sad to have heard this news after listening to the community members from @BigNoiseDouglas and working with the wonderful team there. Looking forward to coming to Douglas next week and making some music with the young musicians and celebrating their achievements at this time.

We are grateful to ministers, those councils that did stand by us, and all of our wonderful funders and the wider community who have sent us so many messages of support over the past weeks 🎶👇

It was a pleasure to welcome BBC Radio 4 to our Bolton Benedetti Sessions last month as part of this new series focused on music education. Tune in at 11.30am (UK), or listen back to hear Nicola Benedetti & some of our Tutors discuss this important topic. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
