‘A UNIFIED moment’ – a Digital Music Festival has brought together school students across Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull.
Heart of England Music – the Music Hub for the region – hosted the online festival to celebrate music making across the area.
A music showcase on YouTube featured contributions from schools, music service groups, individual pupils and music organisations.
And the Hub hosted a live-streamed free concert featuring Raga Garage live from The Royal Pump Rooms in Leamington, who performed a melting pot of musical influences.
It featured performances from violinists Jyotsna Srikanth and Robert Atchison, pianist Shadrach Solomon, and percussionist Karthik Mani – who tailored their work to attract both classical and contemporary music fans of all ages and cultures.
Heart of England Music was established in September 2024 and brought together the three local authority areas to work together across the area.
Coun Dr Kindy Sandhu, Coventry City Council’s Cabinet Member Education and Skills, said: “It was great that schools experienced a unified moment by joining the live stream together. The Hub works with around 22,000 students per week.
“With the live 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.
“There’s something really special about mixing the diversity of music sounds from diverse cultures.”
Mark Steele, Coventry Music Lead at Coventry City Council, added: “The event was 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 would 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.”
