Leicestershire Music appointed Music Hub Lead Partner for Leicester & Leicestershire

Leicestershire Music has been appointed by Arts Council England to lead the Leicestershire Music Hub from September 2024, as part of an ambitious national programme to provide high-quality music education for all children and young people.

As the new Hub Lead Organisation for the Leicester and Leicestershire region, Leicestershire Music will continue to receive a grant from the Department for Education and coordinate music education in the local area. There will also be an investment in new resources and technology tailored to the needs of children and young people in the local area, including those with special educational needs and disabilities.

Leicestershire Music will deliver high quality music education accessible to all children and young people through diverse partnerships between educational, creative and community organisations, in their local communities and throughout the country.

Leicestershire Music's appointment is part of a major investment in a new generation of the nationwide network of Music Hubs. This investment will help to deliver the Government's National Plan for Music Education and give all children and young people the opportunity to develop their musical interests as far as they wish, including helping them to begin careers in the music industry.
