The projects display the variety in scope and scale of the Arts Council’s support, including the National Youth Orchestra, a music education hub crossing three London boroughs, an opera and music in a multi-story car park!

Helen Sprott, Director, Music, Arts Council, said: “The Arts Council works to get great arts and culture to everyone. These organisations are championing this mission through their innovative and engaging work and it’s brilliant to see this celebrated. It is particularly encouraging to see recognition of the vital work music education hubs are doing across the country.

Congratulations are owed not only to these winners but to all the talented and committed nominees.
