This exciting event held on the 30th June 2008 marked the fifth year of Musical Futures, and was a thank you from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation to the schools, music services, classroom teachers, peripatetic teachers and community musicians who have been on the Musical Futures journey, as well as a welcome to those who are about to join. And it marks the transition from Musical Futures being a project led by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation to being a programme delivered and developed by music practitioners.

The day offered a mix of sharing experiences, inspiration and participation, with opportunities to hear from teachers and practitioners who adapted and adopted Musical Futures models; Speakers considered how Musical Futures sits within new policy and curriculum developments; Roland and Numu demonstrated their latest products and technologies; and there were a series of remarkable performances from young ensembles who have come together through Musical Futures.

All performances from the day can be listened to on NUMU
