Who We Support

​At Semibreve CIC, our work centres on supporting individuals and communities who are often underserved or underrepresented in the music world. Our beneficiaries come from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences, and we are committed to creating opportunities that are meaningful, accessible, and empowering.

Our core beneficiaries include:

• Neurodivergent Musicians
  We create safe, flexible environments for neurodivergent artists to learn, create, and perform, with sensitivity to sensory needs, communication styles, and varied learning approaches.

• Underrepresented Artists
  This includes women, non-binary musicians, people of colour, and others who have historically had limited visibility and opportunity in the music industry. We champion their voices through performance, commissions, and community projects.

• Young Musicians
  We support children and young people through mentorship, workshops, and access to instruments and high-quality tuition—especially those who might not otherwise be able to afford or access it.

• Adults Returning to Music
  Whether reconnecting with music after a break or exploring it for the first time later in life, we welcome adult learners and provide supportive, non-judgmental spaces for creativity and growth.

• Communities Experiencing Social or Geographic Barriers
  We bring live music and learning opportunities into schools, village halls, libraries, and community centres—removing barriers to participation and access.

• Disabled and Chronically Ill Artists
  Through flexible working models, performance spaces, and project design, we aim to meet the needs of artists living with long-term health conditions or physical disabilities.

How We Work

We co-create many of our projects with the people and communities we serve. This ensures that the music we make together is relevant, representative, and rooted in real experiences.

​

We believe music is a tool for connection, wellbeing, and change—and that everyone deserves a place in its story.
