Hear from our musical city workers

“If our experience at Channel 4 is anything to go by, our joining with Office Choirs has been the most socialising event since I joined the Company in 1976!”
— Jon Snow, ITN, Newsreader

  • I loved it - put a smile on my face for the rest of the day

     Amanda Blanc, The Times Business Women of the Year


  • Music in Offices has provided us with a highly motivating and valuable musical initiative which has boosted staff morale and supported the development of effective community and corporate relationships.

    Bryony Widdup, Partner, DLA Piper



  • Being part of Music in Offices allows for a great way to meet new people - not just from where I work, but also across different companies. Making music together is a very personal way of networking and I have met a number of new colleagues and friends through playing the piano at MIO events and sessions

    Patrick Massey, Division Director, Macquarie

  • MIO has created a convenient and manageable way to pursue my musical interests and in a way that I wouldn’t have been able to away from the office

    Andy Williams, Chief of Staff, DLA Piper

  • I have found that by joining the choir I have met and made friends with people from other departments that I would not normally be in contact with (especially when you work in a company with approx 800 employees)

    Patricia Asare, Baker McKenzie

  • I was reluctant to join at first but my friend dragged me along and now it’s the highlight of my week. I really look forward to Thursday choir practice

    Andrea Woodhouse, Aviva Voices

  • Singing for Legal Harmony has been an absolute revelation. It is great fun and we have developed a terrific team spirit

    Ben Rogers, Partner Stewart’s Law

  • It’s incredibly enjoyable and your staff are brilliant at keeping the sessions stimulating and successful for singers of all musical abilities. We talk a lot about mindfulness at my company and for me, the choir is my weekly therapy!

    Cherry Portbury, Stockley Park

  • For our health & wellbeing week we had a music workshop. I came out feeling full of joy and beaming with energy. I was put at ease straight away and she brought out your inner voice. I loved every minute of it and plan to continue singing.

    Sunita Devi, Learning and Development Manager, Reynolds Porter Chamberlain

  • I thoroughly enjoyed the event and am still pinching myself to convince me that 'yes I was there!, entertaining the Lord Mayor of London

    David Smith, City Giving Day Big Sing Attendee

  • Thursdays are my new favourite day of the week thanks to starting piano lessons. Kicking myself for not starting earlier!

    Navita Suglani, Travers Smith

  • I'm loving taking piano lessons again with Music in Offices and really feel like I'm learning a lot. I'd definitely recommend it

    Chris Randall, Partner, Norton Rose Fulbright

  • Knowing that I have that hour each week, where I can escape into the music, has had a profound impact on me. I come away from each session feeling uplifted and ready to tackle anything that is thrown my way

    Lauren Birney, SEI
