What We Do
We use the music of street bands to bring people and communities together
Founded in 2011 to deliver music projects with social benefit, Oi Musica became a Community Interest Company in 2018. We are an ambitious, artist-led organisation based in Edinburgh, and we work throughout Scotland and beyond. We create fun and inspiring music experiences for absolutely everybody.
Our work celebrates all aspects of group music making - generating positive shared experiences, celebrating collective success, and finding common ground between players from different backgrounds.
Continually inspired by the infinite variety and possibilities that street band music offers - both as an artform and as an access route into music making - we specialise in massed horn sections, street drumming and outdoor performance.
Our programmes of work span music education, community music, live performance, artistic collaborations, festival programming, practitioner training and bespoke project design. We work as artists and as producers, carefully designing our projects and programmes to generate wide reaching benefits for everyone involved.
We love working collaboratively and are happy to co-design projects based on your needs - just get in touch!
