Sound Connections delighted to launch this year’s Challenging Circumstances Music Network Conference: Catalysing Change taking place at Amnesty International Human Rights Action Centre on Tuesday 29 November 2016.

A catalyst, in chemical terms, is a substance that causes or accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected, sparking new energy and instigating change. We’ve called this year’s Challenging Circumstances Music Network conference Catalysing Change because all of us, whether young people, practitioners, project managers and representatives of music organisations, academics, researchers, teachers and funders, can be a catalyst for change in our work.

In recent years excellent research has been undertaken in the field of music in challenging circumstances, we have more knowledge and intelligence than ever before, and in London we have a wide range of challenging circumstances expertise. Nonetheless equitable provision is still an aspiration not a reality.
