Community and Education Programme Alongside its events at The Anvil and The Haymarket, The Anvil Trust runs an all-year-round community and education Programme. Last year nearly 10,000 workshop places brought wider musical horizons and enhanced life skills all over the Borough and County, and more than 30,000 children performed on our stages. The Trusts current projects include: working in care homes and residential homes in the Borough on a community singing project; working with a special school on their Arts Award development; a tour of primary schools by our associated string quartet; the Orchestra Unwrapped concert when 1000 children enjoy and participate in a concert with the Philharmonia Orchestra; and a new piece involving four schools including a special school, looking at the life of Gandhi. The projects are run to the same high Standards as Anvil Arts'main Programme. Schools work integrates with the national curriculum where appropriate.
