Mission Statement
Music in Hospitals (MiH) is a charity whose mission is to improve the quality of life for adults and children with all kinds of illness and disability through the joy and therapeutic benefits of professionally performed live music in hospitals, hospices, day care centres, special schools, nursing and residential homes.
About This Cause
We organise in the region of 4,500 professionally performed interactive live music concerts a year for people of any age receiving care or treatment for an illness or disability. Our musicians visit hospitals, hospices, care homes, day centres and special schools and all concerts are tailored to meet the needs of the particular audience-group and setting. Some examples of one-off sessions currently offered are: themed reminiscence afternoons in care homes singalong sessions at day centres for adults with disabilities family fun performances at children’s hospices classical concerts in oncology units for those undergoing treatment for cancer plus many more.. We work with professional standard musicians who are carefully chosen by audition and require special qualities. As well as a very high level of musicianship they have exceptional communication skills enabling them relate to and interact with each member of their audience, whatever their age, illness or disability. Whatever musical culture or background our musicians come from, they are all highly respected and distinguished in their field.
