An event to celebrate music making across the Heart of England Music Hub
We are pleased to announce that after a hugely successful live digital event in 2025, on Friday 20th March the Heart of England will be hosting a one-minute music showcase on YouTube. Submissions will come from schools, music service groups, individual pupils and music organisations across the Hub region. Every half an hour 10 new videos showcasing local young talent will be released on the Heart of England YouTube, creating a fantastic playlist of talent across the region.
You can watch the live feed live on our YouTube channel Digital Music Festival 2026 - 1 minute of Music from 9:30am
Watch all the 2025 videos here
The event is all about everyone coming together to celebrate music education pathways and opportunities across the hub region and share their amazing work. It is a great way to enable pupils and families to see the opportunities across the region and to see they are just one of many pupils learning instruments. We want to encourage all young people to watch the videos and if a music group looks exciting, for them to get in touch and give it a go!
