A large music event for primary school children will be held in York on 25 June.
Make Music Day – hosted annually by the Richard Shephard Music Foundation (RSMF) – will bring together over 450 children from across York, north Yorkshire and the north-east to take part in music.
Activities range from beatboxing to Trinidadian percussion, alongside intergenerational workshops with organisation Musical Connections and interactiveperformances from Back Chat Brass and Royal Birmingham Conservatoire’s Learning and Engagement Orchestra.
The event will run from 10am to 3pm at York St John University.
RSMF was founded in 2021 in memory of composer Dr Richard Shephard with the mission of ‘bringing the experience and enjoyment of music to children and young people in Yorkshire and beyond’. Focusing largely on primary schools in disadvantages or isolated communities, it ‘aims to increase both the number of primary-aged children receiving music lessons, and the length of time they spend each week experiencing music’ by working in partnership with schools and musicians.
