Friday Afternoons is a Britten Pears Arts led singing project connecting teachers and young people with contemporary composers, through creating high quality repertoire, resources and training to encourage challenging and exciting music making experiences for all. The Friday Afternoons vision is for every young person to have access to high quality music experiences through using their voice.

Britten Pears Arts now commissions new repertoire and resources for teachers, music leaders and young people, including teaching and accessibility resources. Alongside this, we work in partnership with organisations across the UK, delivering large scale singing events and training programmes to support skills development and connect the Friday Afternoons community.
