MISSION
HMDT believes that everyone should be able to both experience great art and help form it, and aims to prove that great art, that inspires and resonates with many people can be created through the unique dynamic between outstanding professional artists and the community. HMDT commissions and creates new works of the highest possible quality using this model of artistic fellowship, and is a pioneer in defining new music genres such as jazz opera that engage and challenge new audiences whilst giving artists opportunities to take creative risks.
Each new commission is underpinned by training opportunities for artists and an education programme that enriches participant experience, increases their skills, raises aspirations and has a transformative effect on other areas of learning. Core to HMDT’s work is the long term commitment to offering all age groups, particularly those with the least engagement, sustained music training programmes, which enable them to participate in the new commissions ensuring there are no barriers to participation.
VISION
For HMDT’s work and methodology to be in national demand, and to be able to respond to that demand so that a greater number of people in different localities can experience and help create excellent art.
