OHMI announces 2021 Competition Awards and Tenth Anniversary celebratory event

The OHMI Trust is delighted to announce that its 2021 Competition Awards and Tenth Anniversary Celebrations will take place on Saturday, 25th September.
 
The event is expected to attract musicians and representatives from musical organisations from around the world, who share a passion for enabling people living with disability to access and play the instruments they love.

The event will be live-streamed from 6pm BST and includes the following:

• Performances from the talented OHMI musical community.
• Announcements of the winners of our 2021 Competition and demonstrations of their equipment. The Competition, which is held every two years, supports research into, and production of, adapted musical instruments and enabling equipment.
• A celebration of OHMI’s achievements over the last decade.

 
We’re happy to announce that British actor and disability advocate, Melissa Johns, will be hosting the event. Best known for her roles in Coronation Street, absorbing BBC drama Life, and, most recently, Celebrity Masterchef, Melissa will be presenting live from our Birmingham venue.
 
The live broadcast will allow us to share the celebrations with a global audience, reflecting the truly international nature of the competition entries over the years.
