Well done Pat Field, and thank you for your wonderful work with The Music Hub. Every Tuesday night, see our website for details!

Meet the winner of the Arts and Heritage Champion category at the 2024 Provost Community Champion Awards!

Pat Field created TheMusicHub in 2022 with support from Milngavie Music Club. Her in depth knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm has made the venture a great success loved by participants and growing each year.

The aim of TheMusicHub is to create chamber music in an informal, relaxed, fun environment including musicians of all ages and levels. Each week Pat curate’s music to play which will stretch players and provide them with an opportunity to improve skills in listening, collaboration, musicality and technical skills.

On average the group now has 16 players each week on violin, viola and cello, ranging from teenagers to octogenarians, with varied experience and skill. The benefits that participants have gained range from tackling loneliness and isolation, to improved moods, friendships and a feeling of community.

Pat was presented her award by Provost Gillian Renwick and Depute Provost Colette McDiarmid.

As she was presented with her Award Pat said, “I am passionate about community and music, and many of our members have found The Music Hub has not only developed their musical creativity but has improved their mental health. We are first and foremost a community group and we all get so much out of spending time together. Players have met people from many walks of life at The Music Hub but their shared interest in music has allowed them to bond into a thriving and developing social group. I hope to expand the idea of The Music Hub to the seventy or so other music clubs in Scotland.

“I feel extremely honoured to have received a Provost’s Community Champion Arts & Heritage Award and I am very touched to have been nominated by my good friends at The Music Hub.”

Congratulations to our Arts and Heritage Champion – Pat Field.
