Live Music Now

Live Music Now was founded by Yehudi Menuhin and Ian Stoutzker CBE in 1977. Since then, we have given over 80,000 interactive music sessions throughout the UK, reaching over 3 million people. LMN’s specialist musicians have witnessed remarkable scenes as children, older people and hospital patients have been affected by their music.

There is a greater need than ever before for LMN’s work. Throughout the country, there are increasing numbers of older people living with dementia or being affected by loneliness - whether they are living independently, in care homes or in hospital. There are also great challenges faced by children with special educational needs and their families.

However, there is growing recognition amongst academics and leaders in the care and education sectors that music programmes can provide measurable clinical and social benefits, whilst also providing great joy for those hardest to reach. More info at www.livemusicnow.org.uk
