Concerteenies Live music events for 0-7s and their grown-ups: fun, informal, colourful, quality and engaging.

Concerteenies is an award-winning producer of musical events and activities for young children and their adults in Sheffield and beyond. We present concerts, creative music projects, and online events in early years settings (nurseries, schools, childminders), within the community (through venues and care homes), and at home, in addition to providing training and resources. Young children are at the heart of our work, with everything we do about bringing generations together to share, enjoy, and have fun through music. Concerts are performed by professional musicians who enjoy sharing their music with people of all ages. Enjoy an eclectic mix of classical, contemporary, pop, folk and jazz with informal introductions to the music and sensory activities to enhance your child's experience (bubbles, puppets, percussion and lots more). All concerts incorporate soft mats, blankets and toys for the children. Mums are welcome to breastfeed during the concert and nappy changing facilities are provided. All children must be accompanied by adults at all times and all adults must be accompanied by at least one child per group! Concerteenies is programmed and organised (and sometimes led and performed) by Polly Ives who has a wealth of experience as a musician and educationalist. She has worked with CBeebies, Music in the Round, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Opera House, National Children's Orchestra of Great Britain, Beatrix Potter Attraction and many more!

What a brilliant weekend of sold-out events we’ve had!

Yesterday we joined London Mozart Players at Upper Norwood in London for The Dinosaur Department Store Musical Stories concert. Polly and Ella-May joined Leo Popplewell (cello) and Dominic Degavino (piano).

And today in Sheffield, we headed to Sensoria Festival inside Cole Brothers, the old John Lewis store.
Polly, Kate and Ford (from Mishra) performed alongside the incredible Air Giants interactive plant sculptures - a totally different experience for us.

Check out up upcoming events to be in the musical fun!

We were finalists in a national awards today!

Our pioneering project Concerteenies for Babies was shortlisted for the Spark the Change prize at The National Arts and Cultural Education Awards in Manchester.
The programme was recognised for tackling inequality by providing free, high-quality music sessions to hundreds of families in their communities, from Upperthorpe to Burngreave.
These concerts:

Tackle inequality and boost cultural entitlement by giving all babies access to the joy and benefits of live music
Boost parental mental health and wellbeing
Promote bonding and communication among families
Take cultural events to within ‘pushchair proximity’ of families in areas of disadvantage

The project was up against an exceptionally high standard of competition entries from across the country.
We didn’t win - but our team was so proud to celebrate Concerteenies for Babies, funded by Youth Music and in partnership with Sheffield Family Hubs.
All at the impressive Royal Northern College of Music building.

Coming together to give every Sheffield child the best start in life.

Polly and Ruby headed to Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane ground yesterday. We were there for Sheffield City Council’s brilliant Family Hub’s network partners meeting.

We loved talking to other partners about the work of Concerteenies across Sheffield, making music for and with 0-5 year olds and their families.
Everyone at the event was collaborating to give every child the Best Start in Life - and we’re here for it!
