In the charity's own words
Olympias is a multi-award-winning charity which brings music to communities in Manchester. We believe that everyone should be given the opportunity to participate in musicmaking and engage with music, regardless of background or income, and that these encounters can be life-changing. Olympias provides free music lessons, concerts, choirs and workshops for the benefit of the local community.
