Fundraising Officer, Apollo Music Projects
About Apollo Music Projects
It’s an exciting time for this small and ambitious music charity, dedicated to bringing live classical music to children who might not otherwise experience it. Since 2004, more than 13,000 children have experienced the magic of live performance through our programmes from classroom to concert hall, culminating in the thrilling spectacle of a full orchestra in concert.
Apollo Music Projects provides a unique opportunity for children to work closely with professional musicians, using the language of music to develop listening skills, communication and teamwork. Our programmes enable students to discover for themselves how to listen to and enjoy classical music, using their own imagination and experiences to enter a new world of sound, stories and feelings. Our aim is to continue to extend our programme to boroughs across London, and in the near future we plan to take our innovative approach throughout the country.
