BBC Radio 3’s Music Matters have broadcasted a beautiful feature all about our move to The Monastery, Manchester and how we are making a difference to our local community of Gorton.

Tom Service speaks to local Councillor Julie Reid, HideOut youth zone’s CEO Adam Farricker, and Elaine Griffiths from The Monastery about the positive change we are making to the community.

He also interviews Camerata musicians Ryan Breen, Kate Pearson and Dave Tollington about our free weekly Music Café for people living with dementia and our life-changing Music in Mind work.

Tom also speaks to our CEO Bob Riley about our plan for the future as well as our Classical Futures Digital Communicator, Reeco Liburd, about how we are inspiring the next generation of local people.
