Donate to Support
“My son felt so proud to have taken part in the Gala Concert at The Reach, and he couldn’t have done that without the support and positive attitude of the staff and volunteers. I loved the fact that all performers sat in for the whole concert - how inspirational for those younger performers to see the talent of the more experienced ones and how lovely to have the support of the older ones while they performed themselves. Oh, and did I mention an afternoon of top class musical entertainment for the rest of the family - such amazing work by everyone! So thank you DMC for being BRILLIANT!”

How your money will help
​
Our patrons support the development of young musicians by providing financial stability
and resources to Derby Music Centre. This enables us to purchase sheet music and
instruments, provide bursaries to students from low-income families, attend a wider range
of performance opportunities and develop new groups to reach even more young people from
across Derby. Derby Music Centre strives to make all ensemble provision accessible for all children and families, and your contribution will help to ensure this continues to be possible.
