Music That Lives
The founder, Misty Jade, writes:
Music that lives is a not-for-profit project dedicated to preserving and championing Britain's musical heritage, with a particular focus on historic keyboard instruments and music manuscripts and historically-informed performance of tonal classical music.
Our mission is of serious urgency; centuries of historic classical music knowledge and craftsmanship are at risk of being lost, from historically significant musical instruments to historic music manuscripts, together with shrinking music education and disappearing specialist skills. Preservation and conservation alone is not enough - these instruments must be played, manuscripts studied, and historically informed classical music performance promoted to keep this heritage alive. Through concerts, workshops, and scholarly access, we bring historic keyboards and manuscripts back to the wider public - ensuring audiences, musicians, patrons, and future generations can experience and learn from them.
