Venues & Communities

Whether communities of place, including urban, island and rural, or communities of people, such as those living with dementia or in social isolation, Live Music Now Scotland can support local authorities and groups in inspiring, enriching and transforming people’s lives through music.

In accordance with Scotland’s Culture Strategy – A Culture Strategy for Scotland – Live Music Now Scotland is very aware of its unique role in bringing music to communities throughout the country. As Yehudi Menuhin said in founding Live Music Now, ‘It has been my dream to bring live music back into the everyday lives of people of all ages…in those places where most of us spend our time, where we work, study, suffer or celebrate, be it in office or factory, school or prison, parish hall or church.’

Making a Difference...

How LMNS is providing music and opportunities for people across Scotland.

As part of Live Music Now Scotland's 'Composing with Care' project, memories from older people in care homes became the inspiration for a brand new suite of songs.

I really wanted the piece to be interactive. I wanted the audience and the performers to enjoy it, and to give them something to take away.

In support of #ClassicalCOP26 we feature our range of sustainable focused projects.

Babies and toddlers can discover traditional Scottish tunes from an early age, thanks to interactive performances with LMNS artists.

We'd Love to Hear from You!

We are always happy to discuss new projects, opportunities or ways that we can help make music happen in your venue or community.
