Examples of our current and recent work in music

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the Music team in the UK works in conjunction with our overseas arts managers to create music projects that challenge outdated perceptions of the UK and create new collaborations and partnerships.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