As November draws to a close, we're thrilled to announce the return of our sixth annual Give Back Weekend here at Presto Music. Instead of joining the Black Friday frenzy, we're proud to uphold our tradition of dedicating this time to make a meaningful difference.
From the 28th November to the end of 1st December (UK time), we'll be donating 5% of all revenue to two incredible charities that align with our passion for music and its power to transform lives. You can find out more about these organisations below.
If you are planning to treat yourself or a loved one to new recordings, books, sheet music, or instruments, this weekend is the perfect opportunity to shop with purpose and make a positive impact.
Young Sounds UK
Musical talent is everywhere but opportunity isn’t: family finances and other obstacles too often get in the way. Young Sounds UK is here to change this in two key ways. We:
Support young musicians from low income families: with funding and other help.
Support music education: through training, advocacy and research.
Since 1998, we’ve supported over 5,000 talented young people from low-income families. Whatever the genre, our programmes help young musicians from across the UK to grow, flourish and fulfil their musical potential.
From funding instruments to lessons, to transport, whilst expanding their musical networks and giving them opportunities to perform, we do everything we can to give holistic, tailor-made support to young musicians.
At Young Sounds UK, we find potential and give musical talent a chance.
Gabrielli Consort & Players
At the heart of Gabrieli is a collective of musicians committed to sharing the beauty and emotional power of transformational music through ground-breaking performances and recordings. Through their education programme Gabrieli Roar, they break down barriers between professional and participatory music-making; positively impacting thousands of young people and hundreds of music teachers each year. Its principal aim is to develop a generation of young people with broad musical and cultural horizons, who feel enthusiastic and confident about accessing the educational and social benefits of musical participation; and to drive a revival of singing in schools nationwide.
Thank you for helping us make a difference,
From all of the team at Presto Music
