Brightcecilia Classical Music Forums

“Brightcecilia is a community of musicians dedicated to bringing classical music to a wider audience. It endeavours to:
- Encourage living composers and the performance of little-known works
- Provide a platform for performers just starting their careers
- Give publicity to new music publishing houses, instrument makers and recording labels
- Inspire amateur musicians and classical music lovers to play and experience all genres of classical music
- Campaign for young people from all backgrounds to have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument.”


To be a Brightcecilia link partner, your site should be a quality classical music or arts website. But if you have a non-music website which you think may interest Brightcecilia members, contact us to see what can be arranged. To link exchange, post on this thread or get in touch by email or Twitter.
