Live music festival image

An event to celebrate music making across the Heart of England Music Hub, of which Coventry Music is part of

On Thursday the Heart of England have a one-minute music showcase on YouTube. Submissions came from schools, music service groups, individual pupils and music organisations across the Hub region. Every half an hour 10 new videos showcasing local young talent will be released on the Heart of England YouTube, creating a fantastic playlist of talent across the region. 

Watch the videos here

The event is all about everyone coming together to celebrate music education pathways and opportunities across the hub region and share their amazing work.  It is a great way to enable pupils and families to see the opportunities across the region and to see they are just one of many pupils learning instruments.  We want to encourage all young people to watch the videos and if a music group looks exciting, for them to get in touch and give it a go! 

We are excited to be showcasing lots of our schools, individuals and music groups from across Coventry.

On Friday there will be a live streamed free concert facilitated by the hub, featuring Raga Garage – live from The Royal Pump Rooms in Leamington Spa, hosted by Hub partner, Leamington Music and facilitated by the hub. 

The festival has been led through the events group in the Hub, with leaders from each music service helping develop the programme.  

Councillor Dr Kindy Sandhu, Cabinet Member Education and Skills at Coventry City Council said: “It was great that schools got to have a unified moment by joining the live stream together. The Hub works with around 22,000 students per week and with the stream showing the fusion between western classical and bhangra music, it has no doubt inspired young people to take their skills further and continue making music with other Hub members or music services.”
