In September 2025, Clare completed twelve concerts in schools in the Cirencester area, reaching 1,225 children. These were generously supported by The Arts Society Corinium.
Clare will soon start a series of prison concerts featuring works from our co-creation project with participants at HMP Featherstone and HMP Oakwood. Clare was joined by composer Michael Betteridge in workshops at prisons in Staffordshire in May, to co-create pieces for solo piano with prisoners. Clare will perform these in public recitals in the 2025/26 concert season. The GPT is supporting this work alongside Arts Council England, the Marchus Trust and Leigh Day Solicitors. Read more here.
Since our initial fundraising concert in July 2024, pianist Clare Hammond has performed to over 5,900 school children at 38 schools, and 150 prisoners at four prisons.
