We are The Stringcredibles

Background

As a small music charity we have been developing connections between musicians and audiences since 2014.Β  At the heartΒ ofΒ our work is a quartetΒ ofΒ professional musicians who work creativelyΒ withΒ young people and those who facilitate their music education.

Based in Birmingham, our work is largelyΒ withΒ schools and communities within the West Midlands,Β withΒ our main focus beingΒ onΒ primary aged children.

Through connecting our performancesΒ withΒ the wider education curriculum andΒ withΒ children’s everyday life experiences we make live, classical music approachable and relevant to all.

It is our belief that every child has the right to a rich musical life and all the benefits to wellbeing, belonging and creativity that brings.

Mission

Our mission is to spread the joyΒ ofΒ music through live performances that create momentsΒ ofΒ awe and connection.

Vision

We strongly believe in the powerΒ ofΒ music to transform lives.Β  Our vision is more children flourishing through their connectionΒ with music.

Strategic Priorities

We have three strategic priorities currently:
