Tuning In, Giving Back

The BRIT Award spotlight on Ezra Collective reaffirms a vital truth: early access to arts and culture transforms lives. At Curious Minds, we champion this belief through initiatives like the Chance to See Fund, co-created with The Lathums, to break financial barriers and ensure every young person can experience the power of live music and creative inspiration. Discover how artists like Ezra Collective and The Lathums are giving back—and how you can help shape the next generation of talent.
