Project Holst

Inspired by the centenary of Listers Hall and its connection to Gustav Holst, Project Holst brings professional musicians into local schools to help children create their own musical “planets.” These pieces will be showcased in a special community event.

Project Holst also acts as a gateway to ongoing music lessons for children in the area.

Our Projects

Previous Projects

Dursley Music has a track record of creating ambitious, high-quality music projects rooted in community engagement. In 2020, during the Covid lockdowns, we created and delivered the Edge Music Festival, a large-scale music festival curated and produced locally and broadcast on Edge Radio, bringing live music and a sense of shared cultural experience to audiences at a time of isolation.

In 2021, we delivered Pictures at an Exhibition, a creative project that used Mussorgsky’s music as a starting point for participation, imagination, and collaboration, connecting performers and audiences through a shared exploration of music and visual ideas.

These projects demonstrate our ability to deliver meaningful musical experiences even in challenging circumstances, with creativity, resilience, and community at their heart.

Creative

Children and young people gain confidence, creativity, and a sense of achievement by taking part in live, meaningful music-making rather than passive listening.

Community Benefit

Local communities benefit from shared cultural experiences that bring people together, reduce isolation, and strengthen community identity.

Enhanced Learning

Schools and educators gain high-quality, curriculum-relevant creative experiences that enhance learning without adding pressure to teaching staff.

Families

Families benefit from accessible cultural opportunities that remove financial barriers and allow children to explore music regardless of background.

Nurturing the Future

The wider cultural ecosystem benefits from nurturing future audiences and participants, ensuring that music remains a living, shared part of community life.
