In 2024, Chiltern Arts begins work on the first phase of an ambitious outreach project to engage and inspire a new generation of listeners while also building our connection with you, our festival audience.
The project is two-fold: firstly, ListenUp provides free concert access for young people, with free tickets for all Under 16s (and discounts for parents) and our work with schools is specifically for children aged 9–14.
ListenIn is a free online resource that offers a number of ways to learn about, engage with or explore the music and artists that you’ll hear at the Festival. This page is becoming home to a growing collection of resources that bring our events into context and provide new ways of thinking about, listening to or experiencing music.
Chiltern Arts are grateful to the Foyle Foundation for supporting the pilot phase of this project
We’re so excited to introduce this new project to you, and can’t wait to tell you more as it develops.
If you’d like to find out how you can be involved with the project, or you’d like to discuss becoming a partner or major donor for our ListenUp & ListenIn journey, please contact Naomi Taylor at naomi.taylor@chilternarts.com
