What’s on…

Following a successful first year of our Ryedale Primary Choir, we are now recruiting new members for 2024!

Children taking part will attend fun free music sessions (mostly during school holidays), meet and sing with professional musicians, and perform each year as part of the prestigious Ryedale Festival.

If you have any questions, or would like to sign up, please contact: info@rsmf.org.uk or phone: 07845 878642

Interested in our programme?

We are holding a series of online meetings open to primary headteachers from across North Yorkshire, to show how the Richard Shephard Music Foundation is supporting schools with music.

As part of our ongoing work with the Ryedale Festival, the Richard Shephard Music Foundation is supporting the development of a Community Song Cycle, with a performance of this year’s piece taking place on Saturday 8th June 2024. We are offering children and schools from the local area the chance to take part in the concert, and the songwriting workshops beforehand. If you would like to be involved or would like more information on the project please email: info@rsmf.org.uk

Every year, we join other musical organisations around the world by celebrating Make Music Day! On Friday 21st June 2024, we will be running an event to celebrate all the hard work our pupils have put into their music sessions this year. Keep an eye on our social media for more information about the day: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter

After our great success in 2023, we will be taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge again! This year, the campaign will take place between 3rd-10th December 2024. Any donations made during this time will be doubled by our match funding – so please do consider making us your Christmas cause in 2024.

During the campaign week, we will be at events across the region to promote the work of the Foundation. Please keep an eye on our social media pages for information closer to the time.
