In Harmony Opera North engages over 3,200 children and young people every week.
Delivering an inclusive programme of high quality music education and performance opportunities, In Harmony Opera North encourages young people from all backgrounds to engage with the arts and benefit from a range of personal, social and musical outcomes.
The programme promotes musical excellence and provides development pathways for committed and enthusiastic young people to realise their musical potential, but In Harmony Opera North is more than a music programme: at its heart the programme supports the development of a strong sense of community which feels connected to the wider company of Opera North and the work that it creates and presents.
