Join our Sweet Circle
Some of the most magical moments at Turner Sims happen when a child or young person encounters live music for the very first time.
Our Sweet Circle brings together generous individuals who want to help make these moments possible.
Members of this special circle support our Engagement Programme – schools concerts, family performances, workshops and creative activities – ensuring that children and young people can experience the joy of music, whatever their background.
Symbolically sponsoring one of our popular ice-cream flavours, from £1000 per year, enables us to bring the inspiration and impact of live music to children and young people who might otherwise miss out.
It was the best show I’ve been to as far as a one-year-old baby is concerned (and we go to many). Just the right amount of stimulation. My daughter was focused, laughing, dancing, and extremely comfortable. This is very rare!
