Last week Make Music Day was on 21 June; Make Music Day is the UK’s largest single-day music festival, encouraging musicians, producers, promoters and music lovers to collaborate and organise in-person and online performances in and for their communities.

As part of the events, Primary School children from across Yorkshire were invited to take part in a special celebration of all things musical run by the Richard Shephard Music Foundation, the charity set up to remember the late composer Dr Richard Shephard. Over 300 children spent the day singing, playing instruments, and composing music in the Chapter House of York Minster and the Creative Centre at York St John University.
