Wigmore Hall specialises in chamber and instrumental music, early music and song offering music-making of outstanding quality and an array of activities in the broader community.

Wigmore Hall's Learning programme has been giving people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities opportunities to take part in music making, engaging a broad and diverse audience through innovative creative projects, concerts, events and online resources.

Working in collaboration with a range of community, health, social care and education organisations, the Learning programme comprises

  • Schools and Early Years,
  • Community
    • (including Music for Life, their programme for people living with dementia and their care staff)

      It aims to enhance the quality of life of its participants and to demonstrate to carers the emotional, social and physical potential of people in their care.

      Projects take place in residential homes and special day care centres, and focus on people who can be isolated and disempowered as a result of the advanced stage of their dementia.

      During projects, specially trained musicians work alongside small groups of people with dementia and their carers, drawing out individuals and enhancing communication. These musical and personal interactions identify and build upon areas still intact in a person suffering the losses associated with the later stages of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia – memory, physical capacities, personality changes and accompanying loss of identity
  • Family,
  • Young People
  • and Behind the Music, an extensive study programme.
