The Festival combines an international level concert series across the North of Sussex with the county wide Gifted and Talented String Academy together this new Il Sistema Strings project. We aim to further our sutainability and to inspire and engage with the entire community through new and old music and dance. We have brought together all the churches and country estates around Horsham and every school in the county so our reach is powerful and very active.
Why they need our serviceThe Shipley Arts Festival recognises the rural areas in Sussex where one in three children grow up in poverty. An extension of our String Academy programme with a Il Sistema Strings related project would address the poverty and extend our creation of social mobility for individuals and families.
Plan and expected resultsCreation of social mobility and increased responsibility with the eldest supporting the youngest. This will take the form of some of wealthiest helping others, and also by our String Academy students sharing their increasing social responsibility with their younger peers. Entire families will have increased aspiration and we hope also to create work and vocational opportunity. Currently our most successful students have entered e.g. the Yehudi Menuhin School and pro orchestras.
