About Us
At NW Live Arts, we believe that music can build bridges and start conversations.
What We Do
We create stimulating live music performances to inspire new musical encounters, challenge preconceptions and empower communities to forge a lifelong relationship with music.

Our Concerts and Musicians
We stage our events in arts venues and in local neighbourhood venues with the aim of reaching new and overlooked audiences. We explore new contexts for performance and break the mould of the traditional classical concert.
By bringing different musical traditions together, we create exciting experiences, explore new sounds and dissolve boundaries in music and society.
We collaborate with internationally acclaimed musicians including Kuljit Bhamra MBE, Tunde Jegede, Alice Zawadzki and Sidiki Dembele and with younger emerging musicians. We bring live music into wonderful spaces such as Kentish Town Health Centre, Salvation Army Hall, Swiss Cottage Library as well as arts venues including The Foundling Museum, Cecil Sharp House and King’s Place.
Our Workshops
We value the creative imagination of everyone who wants to get involved with us.
Alongside our concerts we run workshops that enable communities to explore social issues through art. Our workshops are led by musicians, visual artists, writers, actors and dancers and no previous experience is required to participate.
Our Partners
Our mission is to bring music to those who have the least and those who are struggling. Working with our wonderful partners we run workshops that empower and benefit their members as well as offering free tickets to our concerts.
