Barbican Artists is our chamber music collective dedicated to bringing live music to unexpected places across Gloucester. Made up of local professional musicians, the group is passionate about creating accessible, surprising musical experiences that connect with new audiences and collaborate with community groups.

The collective launched on 6th March 2026, bringing exceptional music to unexpected places in Gloucester. The day started by making music with Gloucester Dementia Choir then creating pop-up performances in Eastgate Shopping Centre and Gloucester Transport Hub. 

"At GAM, our vision is to bring unforgettable musical experiences to everyone no matter who they are or where they are. To do this we must be bold and brave. Barbican Artists is our opportunity to be courageous and take the joy of exceptional music making to people in the most unexpected of places." - Richard Ashton-Phillips, Executive Director
