Benedetti Foundation

The Benedetti Foundation was established in 2019 by inspirational Scottish violinist and dedicated music education advocate Nicola Benedetti. The Foundation delivers transformative experiences through mass music events and unites those who believe music is integral to life’s education.

Led by Nicola and a team of exceptional musicians and educators from across the world, the Foundation provides equal access to music participation and appreciation for all.  The Foundation believes in the strength of music and the power of mass inspirational moments to connect cultures and communities through combining excellence and inclusivity, tradition and innovation and meaningful collaboration.

It targets areas of the UK where high-quality music education experiences are often restricted and under-resourced due to geographical or financial barriers. 

The Benedetti Foundation is passionately committed to enriching the UK’s education networks and communities. Thanks to extremely strong networks and partnerships, including all Music Services/Hubs and a network of teachers, in the Foundation’s first three years, it has reached over 50,000 people (live and online) in every Scottish and English Local Authority and across 103 countries.  It’s free online educational video resources: ‘With Nicky’ and other Foundation videos have had over 6 million views.
