The company's principal aim is to enrich the cultural life of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland by bringing to those localities established musicians of international, national and local standing to make music in a variety of contexts, and to broaden interests, understanding and audience base through educational and outreach programmes via Annual Music Festival and Lunchtime Concerts.
