Overview   Charter & Application Form   
Workshops

The launch of the Healthy Orchestra Charter at the 2006 ABO Conference was followed in April, May and June 2006 by three workshops that focused respectively on the emotional and physical health of musicians, and the legal requirements that employers are expected to fulfill in relation to health and safety. Each of these workshops was attended by more than 30 member orchestras, conservatoires and associated organisations from within the sector.  Please follow the links below for more details on each of the presentations.
