#AnOrchestraInEverySchool Toolkit
The #AnOrchestraInEverySchool initiative, launched at the ABO Conference in February 2025, highlights the transformative power and value of a high quality music education for all young people.
The initiative is part of the ABO’s #MusicThatMovesYou public campaign, which celebrates the impact of UK orchestras in our everyday lives, cultural heritage, communities and economy
#AnOrchestraInEverySchool is a national call to ensure access to high-quality music education and creative subjects for all children and young people, investing in music education and skills development.
Our aspiration is for every school in the UK to either have an orchestra of its own - however they define that - or access to an orchestra.

How it all started:
In May 2024, the Association of British Orchestras, along with its over 200 members, launched a bold three-year-long nationwide public engagement campaign to celebrate the power and value of classical music and the UK’s orchestras. The campaign celebrates the Power of Connection of classical music and the joy that it brings to our everyday lives.
We’re grateful to our Campaign Partners:
