Our Support Programmes for Young People
Plymouth Music Accord has several programmes to encourage young people to develop an interest in music to fund their tuition and help talented young musicians get started on a career in music.
We often pay for tickets so that primary school children can attend a concert free of charge, either as a school group or with family. We are funding such tickets for the Plymouth Symphony Orchestra at St. Andrew's Minster in November 2024 - see details here
