Music in Hospitals
Music in Hospitals, a charity formed in 1948, aims to improve the
quality of life for adults and children in healthcare suffering from illness or
disability by delivering the therapeutic benefits of live music performances.
Organising in the region of 4,500 performances annually throughout the
UK, each session is presented聽by a small group聽of professional musicians. Our
beneficiaries include people with physical and learning disabilities, hospital
and hospice patients, special school pupils, mental health service users and
care home residents.聽
A shared experience
Our performances offer a shared experience where people receiving care can socialise and interact amongst themselves, with staff, volunteers, relatives and the musicians, breaking down social and cultural barriers and the routine of long-term care. The music provides a talking point and a way of everyone connecting in what can often be an isolated environment.
The benefits of live music
Tailor-made performances
The people who benefit from our work vary greatly, but they have all been isolated by an illness or disability. Each performance is specially tailored to meet the needs of the audience, no matter what their age, disability or cultural background.
