Music Lives

Music Lives was set up in early 2013 to spearhead a project of staging a concert in Beverley, east Yorkshire. The two headline bands are ‘The Unknown’ and ‘Little Venice’, the band members for these bands comprise solely of adults with learning disabilities. Also being featured are a number of local musicians and a choir from a local primary school.

The concert’s production and promotional team will include a number of local young people aged under 18.

There will be an opportunity for local adults who use the services of Scope and Millers to drop in during the afternoon rehearsal to speak with the bands leader and a music therapist from the charity, Music Alive. Scope and Millers provide a day centre and residential respite care for adults with learning disabilities in East Yorkshire.

The concert will bring together a cross section of society, specifically under 18s, adults with learning disabilities, primary school children and the wider community as a whole.

A key aim of the project is to highlight the musical abilities of adults with learning disabilities and to demonstrate that there are no boundaries to opportunities.
