Will you join us in playing West Sussex Musical Chairs?
It’s the brainchild of West Sussex Music and will support – quite literally – young musicians from across the county.
The charity is looking to equip members of the West Sussex Youth Orchestra with 100 chairs specifically designed for orchestral use.

“The chairs we currently use were never intended for musicians and as such don’t promote the proper alignment or freedom of motion necessary for prolonged periods of orchestral use.
“It would be fantastic to be able to equip our young musicians, and future generations, with chairs that support them better and allow them to get the most from their abilities.”
For donations of £200 or more, the chair can have a plaque with the donor’s name. Perhaps you are a company that would like to show your commitment to the community and would like it recognised or were you once in the West Sussex Youth Orchestra and would like to give something back.

Chairs can be bought by individuals, businesses or collectively by groups of donors.
