Music

Hands hover over lots of dials

At Drake Music we offer accessible opportunities for Disabled artists at different stages of their career.

Through our DM Collective Artistic Development programme, we support Disabled musicians to develop their work and careers, so that they can play a major part in the wider landscape of the arts and culture. We do this through commissions, residencies, mentoring and masterclasses for musicians at different stages of their career.

We also offer participatory music-making activity for adults and develop new projects and commissions with artists and partners.

“I’m a great believer that if you are already dreaming of something it’s possible, it’s happening. And sometimes it is these extra barriers and challenges and bridges that you have to cross that make the situation unique and powerful and it’s those individuals who truly do make a difference and touch a lot of people’s lives.”
