No Borders is the fusion of three lively string players who share a passion to make a positive change in not only the classical world but also in society. They are committed to breaking down barriers through live music centred around the performance of classical music in diverse community settings, such as hospitals, care homes and arts venues across Scotland. Their mission is not to book venues but create them and bring music to those who need it the most- hence “No Borders”.
Frances (violin), Suzanne (viola) and Joanna (cello) studied together at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and started playing together when Frances called for volunteers to play at the dementia unit in Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH). The chemistry was so fruitful, and the demand for more concerts so strong that they decided to establish themselves as No Borders. The experience showed that the language of music could bring a real healing change in people’s lives.
They have been recipients of Glasgow UNESCO award scheme for their work at QEUH and joined the Live Music Now Scotland (LMNS) scheme in 2024. Joining LMNS is an excellent continuation of their journey, as it will help them grow their experience, create links with communities and provide visibility on their work as an established ensemble.
Live Music Now Scotland (LMN Scotland) is registered in Scotland No. SC442910 and Registered Charity No. SC043868.
We are always happy to discuss new projects, opportunities or ways that we can help make music happen in your venue or community.
