About the founder

Founded by cellist, collaborator and creative workshop leader Tara Franks who believes everything in life stems from who we meet, that chats we have, the random opportunities we jump on and the experiences we encounter by walking a different route whenever possible. Tara believes that our individual and group engagement in music can be as strong whatever age we are. Whether 2 or 62 we all have something inherent that music taps into. We all have a capacity and need to play, a necessity to be allowed to let rip. 

Connecting people through creative musical experiences
