Supporting Music Education Hubs to crowdfund local music projects for children and young people
We're extending an open invitation to everyone in West Sussex to participate in a county-wide game of Musical Chairs in order to help equip our young musicians with chairs designed for orchestral use.
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
This initiative aims to provide members of the West Sussex Youth Orchestra, who are based at The College of Richard Collyer in Horsham, with 100 chairs that have been specifically designed with the performance, comfort and well-being of the musician in mind. These musicians' chairs will provide optimal support and flexibility, whilst promoting easier breathing and freedom of movement. £200 will purchase a chair and it is hoped that some donors may wish to fund more than one; perhaps an entire section of the orchestra! Donors can also have a plaque for the chair with their name on it.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The chairs will be used not only by West Sussex Youth Orchestra, and other Horsham Music Centre ensembles, but also by Horsham Symphony Orchestra and the National Children’s Orchestra, both of which are also now based at Horsham Music Centre. Chairs can be bought by individuals, businesses or collectively by groups of donors.
Steps to get it done:
We know our young musicians are one of the best kept secrets in Sussex and we want more people to hear how amazing they are. In supporting our Musical Chairs campaign you will be "Changing Lives through Music"
