This is such an achievement, showing our dream has come true – to provide a bespoke Centre which will be a sustainable legacy for disabled people of all ages, whose lives will be transformed by the power of music.
Special thanks to our main philanthropist – Sir Norman Stoller, whose largesse we are thrilled to acknowledge and to Sophie, the Countess of Wessex who officially opened the Centre on February 8th 2018, when the Centre was packed with Beneficiaries, young and old alike, Funders, Patrons, Trustees and wonderful Sunbeams supporters from all walks of life.
The futuristic building follows the natural contours of the land as it slopes upwards from west to east, appearing to gradually emerge from the landscape. The building almost reaches a crescendo, as would a piece of music – the Centre really is cutting-edge design. It is true testament to Will Mawson, our architect – and worthy of our wonderful beneficiaries who no longer have to tolerate inferior resources.
