SOUNDWAVE

The Charity's objectives are to promote, maintain, improve and advance education for the benefit of the public, by developing public appreciation and understanding of music and all related art forms, including playing instruments, singing, composition, digital arts, dance and performance and by improving access to and the quality of the musical arts, primarily but not exclusively in Cumbria.
