Nucleo

Nucleo Nucleo in North Kensington gives children and young people the opportunity to learn an instrument as part of an orchestra, completely free of charge.

Nucleo is a music for social action programme combining a community project in North Kensington working with over 350 young musicians, and national work established by Sistema England - including the Instrument Donation Bank and Young Leaders Programme. Students attend 4-6 days a week, and through their participation they develop not only musically, but also in the many other social, personal and intellectual ways that musical study, teamwork and the pursuit of excellence can facilitate. Nucleo's Instrument Donation Bank receives unused or unwanted instruments and redistributes them to students who need them around the country. Nucleo's Young Leaders Programme brings together remarkable young change-makers from around the country to build a musical community that exemplifies the ideals of music for social change.

Can’t believe it has already been a month since our 13th anniversary concert at Cadogan Hall! Don’t worry if you missed it (or are having a hard time waiting for next year) - here’s the 60-second version.

We asked our soloists how they think they’ll be feeling onstage tonight, and where they’ll look when they get up there. Here’s what they said!

See you at Cadogan Hall, tonight at 7:15!

24/06/2026

It’s concert day! How’s everyone feeling?

See you at 7:15 pm at Cadogan Hall!

(Look forward to great music, and equally great air conditioning!)

Looks like Natalia Luis-Bassa is almost as excited as we are about our concert tomorrow at Cadogan Hall!

Come along, enjoy the air conditioning, and help us celebrate Nucleo's 13th anniversary. Don't miss it!

We were INCREDIBLY lucky to have violinist Nathan Amaral with us over the past few days, getting to know Nucleo and mentoring our soloists for tomorrow’s Cadogan Hall concert. We learned so much! Thank you Nathan, and see you tomorrow!

Just ONE MORE DAY till our concert at Cadogan Hall!

After hearing all about Diego’s routine we asked our other soloists, Noah and Logan, whether they have any pre-concert regimes they’ll be following before they go on stage tomorrow. Here’s what they said.
