BCO Summer Estates Tour July 2024

Brixton Chamber Orchestra needs your urgent support!

Our annual Summer Estates Tour takes place over two weekends - 19 - 28 July, with 11 estate shows and a primary school workshop and performance. We expect 2000+ to attend!

This project offers communities living in Lambeth’s housing estates the opportunity to come together to enjoy an uplifting musical experience free to all in the community. We bring shared community spaces to life with live music and offers regular exposure to live performances in many different genres with a variety of instruments. Many of our audiences have never been to an orchestral concert before.

Unfortunately for this Summer Tour we did not receive the expected funding from one of the organisations that has supported these tours for the last 4 years, so despite our best forward-planning and funding strategy, we are now in a position that without funding the tour is a big challenge for us.

This Go Fund Me page has been created to help cover some of the costs for the Tour, as well as the children’s workshops and performance. Please give whatever you can, and forward on to anyone in your community or network who might want to support this work (donations can be given anonymously). We really appreciate your help!

We believe that orchestral music should be at the centre of society, reaching people in their own community, and that everyone, regardless of circumstance, should have access.

Thank you, from all of us - Brixton Chamber Orchestra
