 Toyah Wilcox, our esteemed host for the OHMI Competition Awards We’re thrilled to announce that singer-songwriter, actress, and presenter Toyah Willcox will be hosting our OHMI Competition Awards ceremony in Birmingham!
As someone who has spoken of her own experience of disability as a force for creativity and who was born only four miles south of the city, Toyah seemed the perfect choice to present the awards. The OHMI Competition Awards are designed to stimulate further and more rapid developments in adapted musical instruments and enabling equipment and will form part of OHMI’s major conference on Music & Physical Disability, taking place on Saturday, 15th and Sunday, 16th March 2025. The conference, which is being delivered in collaboration with Birmingham City University and Imperial College London and is sponsored by ABRSM, will explore the music-making barriers faced by people with physical disabilities, from the design and ongoing production of instruments to wide-ranging issues around performing. The event builds on the success of the inaugural OHMI Conference in 2018 which attracted international representation and speakers from five continents. Delegates at the conference will also get the opportunity to hear internationally acclaimed classical pianist Nicholas McCarthy perform some of ABRSM’s new one-handed Performance Grade repertoire. Tickets may be purchased on the OHMI Research Partnership website: https://www.ohmirp.org.uk/ohmiconference.html. Comments are closed.
