LMN guitarist singing in front of children

LMN believes that involvement in high quality live music brings life-changing benefits. Our work is dedicated to increasing access to such experiences for those who would otherwise be excluded through disability, disadvantage, ill-health, poverty, social isolation or imprisonment, and to developing a resource of highly skilled musicians who, after their training and delivery with LMN, will retain a commitment to music outreach in their professional lives.

We reach our service users though direct contact with their care or support setting, or by working in partnership with voluntary and statutory agencies in the public sector: NHS hospital trusts, local authority education departments, the Prison Service, Age Concern etc.

Delivery takes place in a range of formats; from one hour participatory performances to half or full day workshops. Most activity takes place as part of a sustained project which aims to achieve longer lasting benefits.

Musicians delivering LMN projects are carefully selected through an audition process. Once accepted onto the scheme they are given tailored training to support and equip them for the challenges ahead.

Violinist watched closely by happy boy


The music was of the highest standard - melodious and rhythmically spellbinding. The musicians were charming and informative. The members watched and listened thoroughly enraptured, unable to resist singing and dancing when asked. It was a rare treat to be offered an insight into anther country's musical culture in such an entertaining and professional way.
