Thanks to the generous support of local individuals, groups and businesses live music in the corridors of Royal Derby Hospital is set to continue. We warm up with a series of performances that take us through December with plans already under way for a tuneful New Year at Derby Hospitals.
People often have no choice about a visit to hospital but music provides the opportunity to create some uplifting moments for patients, visitors and staff even on the greyest days.
Live music concerts positively contribute to the experience of between 300 to more than 1500 patients, visitors and staff at each performance, With a programme ranges from a String Quartet and Choirs, to Flamenco Guitar and British Folk Song.
These public performances can only happen with local support and donations, if you are able to support music in the hospital please contact the Coordinator Juliet on 01332 786203or email cooper@hcp.co.uk

QHQ are a 4 member singing group who have donated their time for this performance at Kings Treatment Centre.
“All of the group have a lot to thank the Royal for – several of our children were born here and heard their first songs in the labour suite, and the Kings Treatment Centre and all its staff have been wonderful in what they’ve done for us personally over the past few years. To be able to give something back, by entertaining others through the pleasure of singing, is a great joy.”
