What We Do
An example of our work in music

Every year we support a huge range of different music projects around the world. From small performances and workshops to full-scale music concerts, the Performing Arts Department in the UK works in conjunction with our overseas arts managers to create music projects that challenge outdated perceptions of the UK and create new collaborations and partnerships.

The following recent and forthcoming project examples provide a snapshot of the work that we do in the field.
