The Recycled Orchestra

With the help of Oglesby Charitable Trust Green Grants, we repaired 100 second-hand instruments for use by our young musicians at Olympias!

Every year, thousands of musical instruments go to landfill due to the prohibitive cost of repair. Many are made of rare woods and metals, which are impossible to recycle. We partnered with the Oglesby Charitable Trust, Sound Post Limited and a team of community luthiers (instrument makers) to breathe new-life into second-hand instruments and putting them into the hands of young people to inspire the next generation of musical talent in Manchester!

​

Thanks to the generosity of our friends and supporters, we have a full supply of instruments and are no longer in need of donations.
