From waiting rooms and wards to gardens and cafes, our live music days with partner organisations Britten Sinfonia and Music in Hospitals & Care share the joy of live music with patients, staff and visitors across our hospital sites. Evidence tells us that live music in healthcare settings can help people feel more relaxed and confident, and can help reduce stress, frustration and isolation – key components to health and healing.
