We are thrilled to announce that Bryn Terfel is joining us as an Ambassador for Live Music Now.
“Live Music Now is an organisation very close to my heart. It was founded by the great Yehudi Menuhin, who believed so passionately that music could profoundly touch people’s lives, even those in the most challenging of circumstances. Since it was founded, nearly forty years ago, its musicians have reached millions of people, in care homes, special schools, communities and hospitals. I’ve seen their work several times, including performances given by my partner Hannah Stone, and witnessed the incredible effect that music can have on people living with dementia, or children with autism. In my native Wales, LMN is one of very few organisations that works in every single Welsh county. Beyond this, its work in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland is also hugely impressive, and should be much better known. In Menuhin’s inspiration, its musicians are all of an exceptional high standard, and all receive training from LMN to work with vulnerable adults and children. I’m delighted to join LMN as an ambassador, in this Menuhin Centenary year, and look forward to helping them reach many more people over the months and years to come.”
