As part of the Norfolk Music Hub Expo, which took place on Thursday 9th March 2017, we held an awards ceremony, to recognise and celebrate the hard work that individuals, schools and organisations put in to music education across the County.

The categories were open to public nominations, from which the Executive Board for Norfolk Music Hub chose the shortlist. The shortlisted nominees were then interviewed by Ian Cooper, Assistant Head of Music Service, and the winners were announced at the evening event of the conference at Dunston Hall.

Congratulations to all the nominees and winners!
