Arco - Music for all is a music education charity, creating wider access to high quality music education for all young people and connecting diverse communities.

 

Did you know no women were allowed to play in Orchestras in the UK until 1913? Vienna took this a step further and did not allow women to participate until 1997.

 

At Arco we work hard to represent a diversity of composers and music to all our young musicians. Beethoven wrote fantastic music, but so did Florence Price.

 

At our stall, you will learn about female composers (the people who write music) and musicians, and have the chance to try out a violin yourself!
