Music Live 2026 – Bringing Professional Musicians into Cambridgeshire Schools
Music Live is an exciting programme that brings high‑quality, live performances from professional musicians directly into schools. Designed to inspire, engage, and spark curiosity in young people, the project offers pupils a close‑up encounter with exceptional music‑making in their schools.
This year, Music Live is taking place in Fenland and Huntingdonshire, with a wide variety of ensembles visiting schools across both districts. As a refreshed pilot, the project marks the beginning of a new three‑year cycle that we hope to rotate to different areas of Cambridgeshire each year, ensuring that all parts of the county benefit from this vibrant musical experience over time.
Explore the programme, discover the artists, and find out how your school can get involved.
