Tinderbox Orchestra is part of the wider Tinderbox Collective – a network of musicians, artists, youth workers, and young people based in Scotland. The Collective engages with thousands of young people each year through a range of music projects, game-design workshops, and creative productions. Tinderbox are the Edinburgh music partners for the ‘We Make Music’ Instrument Libraries Campaign- an initiative to get musical instruments into public libraries so people can borrow them for free, just like borrowing a book!
