Sheffield Music Hub Launches Rare Breeds Programme!

At Sheffield Music Hub, we are launching a Rare Breeds Programme, an initiative designed to support and celebrate some of the more endangered instruments.

Young musicians will have the opportunity to learn from a selection of less commonly chosen instruments at half the usual cost!
