An Afternoon of Music, Conversation and Purpose

Join us for DEBUT’s first-ever gala, Play It Forward — a special afternoon of song, conversation, and celebration in support of DEBUT’s charitable mission to empower emerging classical musicians and reimagine how audiences experience live classical music.

Hosted by Lizzie Holmes (Artistic Director) and Jonathan Tester (Chair of Trustees), the event brings together live performance and open discussion about DEBUT’s journey so far, what we’ve achieved together, and where we’re headed next.

Enjoy guest performances from some of our favourite DEBUT artists, hear behind-the-scenes stories from Lizzie and Jonathan, and discover how your support can help us continue to play it forward — nurturing the next generation of exceptional musicians and connecting new audiences to classical music in fresh, inspiring ways.
