The amazing @DavidStanleyMus @jonsphotos1 @MusicManProject knocked it out of the park again last night at @theRSAorg.
We were all so proud to photograph award-winning photographer Jon Webber at the opening night of his powerful @musicmanproject portraits exhibition, at the iconic @therasorg in London, accompanied by amazing Music Man music.
The evening was a true celebration of talent, inclusion, and creativity & it was fantastic to have Music Man President @PennyMordaunt & Minister for Disabled People Stephen Timms also in attendance.

The secret is finally out.
For anyone who missed it, The Music Man Project announced live on Channel 4's The Last Leg that we’re going to Broadway.
On Wednesday 7 October 2026, our ambassadors will take to a New York stage. From one student to the biggest stage in the world, this journey has been unreal.
This is not a dream. It is booked.
Broadway, here we come!
