The Friends of Bury Music are a registered charity, raising funds to support the work of Bury Music Service. We have been doing this since 1976, when our charity was founded to support Bury Schools Music Centre. We believe every child within the Bury area should have the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument. We also want children to have the experience and pleasure of taking part in musical activities and ensembles, especially as so many schools do not offer music as part of their curriculum. Access to learning an instrument should not be elitist! The money we raise goes towards: bursaries for those that want to learn an instrument but find the fees a barrier; buying new musical instruments for the pupils to play; hiring concert venues in which the pupils can perform (RNCM, Stoller Hall, Peel Hall); buying new sheet music for all of the playing groups and bands, and supporting summer musical tours that are organised approximately once every two years, pandemics allowing, for the senior orchestra and concert band. The Friends are all parents of children who are currently with or have been with the music service. We give up a few hours of our time every month to help fundraise. We also run our café Rhythm and Brews at the music centre on a Saturday morning, including our ever-popular tuck shop.

Story

Bury Music Service are in urgent need of some new music stands. They would like to invest in some new, more durable stands, complete with carry cases, so that all pupils can use them when performing not only at Music Centre, but also at outside venues. Each stand costs around £100 each!

The Friends would like to help with the purchase of these music stands and have started their new fundraising campaign ‘Stand up for Stands’

Your donations are gratefully received.
