Barry was an integral part of Tring Together and his family would like any donations in memory of Barry to be given to our charity’s Tring Music Partnership initiative, specifically to offer free music coaching and training workshops to local young people. Barry and Vivianne were teenagers during the golden age of youth music provision, with free music lessons, summer schools, bands and orchestras. This led to a lifetime of music making and joy, and it would be great to ‘pay this forward’ and help the next musical generation.

What is Tring Music Partnership?

Tring Music Partnership was created in June 2021 to get community music back on its feet following the pandemic. Music benefits everyone's mental health and wellbeing and we want everyone in our community to have the opportunity to take part in music.

We deliver our own events and workshops and work in partnership with schools and existing music groups to support and connect everything musical in Tring

To make music accessible, our workshops are either free or heavily subsidised. This is possible thanks to donations from individuals and grants from Tring Town Council, Dacorum Borough Council and Tring Arts Society.
