This past year has thrown into focus just how much we all need and value music and the arts. Access to music and the arts can make a fundamental difference to our physical and mental health, to our education and employability.
With music and creativity more vital than ever, providing people with solace, relaxation, inspiration, and hope we believe culture is a human right and an important part of ‘a life well-lived’ which should be available to all – and we believe that collaborative creative effort makes for a kinder, more inclusive society, enabling the kind of world we all want to live in.
Based in Sandwell in the Black Country – the 12th most deprived local authority in England – our music groups perform with, and for, communities across the Midlands. Our professionally led, inclusive programmes support instrumentalists, vocalists and non-creatives to fulfil their potential, whether that be reaching for a personal performance goal, enabling self-expression, or developing brand new skills.
The last 3 years have seen considerable development for TPO, despite and sometimes because of, the challenges that the Covid pandemic has created. Our hybrid arts programs remain accessible, encourage diversity whilst providing access to choral and orchestral music for people across the West Midlands specifically, and the UK more widely.
