In Harmony Opera North launched in the spring of 2013 at Windmill Primary School, Leeds. It now takes place at six primary schools and one secondary school in Leeds and Halifax, involving over 2,500 in full-time education on a weekly basis. In Harmony brings weekly music lessons and performance opportunities to its partner schools through the First Access programme, during the school day. The schools also have opportunities to interact with the Opera Company as an audience. Underpinning this work is a desire to enrich communities and to foster a love of the arts as well as the musical potential of students.
