On 18 March, Bristol Beacon will be hosting 'Together for Music', a new festival run in collaboration with Music for Youth and Trinity College London (TCL) with support from TCL's Award and Certificates in Musical Development (ACMD) and in association with the Sounds of Intent programme.
The festival has a focus on empowering those from marginalised communities, offering interactive workshops for both students and educators. The event will also feature sign-up performance slots, a marketplace, and talks from TCL on the ACMD qualification. Of the performers confirmed, groups include The Kings of Wessex Brass Ensemble, Westfield Arts College and St Rose’s School Orchestra.
Technology in Music Education (TiME) and Music for Youth will also be at the marketplace, sharing current technology and ideas targeted at those interested in accessible and adaptable music-making.
The Music For Youth Festival 2024, described as 'the UK’s largest festival for young musicians', comprises regional festivals in 20 locations across the UK.
