MEET THE TEAM

POLLY STEPAN MOORE, CEO

Founded Restore the Music in 2013 by building unique and innovative relationships across all sectors, identifying like-minded individuals who placed the same importance on delivering music provision to all young people. Quick to see the size of the gap in funding for music in schools, as well as to understand the impact of music particularly in areas of high deprivation, in 2017 the programme formally became a charity .

HANNAH MAYBLIN, PROGRAMME ADMINISTRATOR

Joined the team in 2022 with a background in Arts Education and a shared passion for empowering young people through the provision of high quality cultural and creative experiences. With the growth of Restore the Music, Hannah plays a key role in ensuring the efficient management of the RTM network, events and comms along with the funding round data capture and website updates.

JONATHAN SAVAGE, REGIONAL PROGRAMME DIRECTOR

In charge of day to day management of the grantee network outside of London as well as identifying new opportunities for partnerships and fundraising opportunities.

A passionate advocate for music education, Alexis Ffrench is one of the UK’s most distinctive and ground-breaking artists, who pioneered the genre ‘Classical Soul’ and has amassed over 1 billion streams of his catalogue. Alexis’s sound transcends genre, time period and expectations. Rather than leaning into the narrow, traditional understandings of ‘classical’, Alexis instead leans outward, expansively drawing on a mosaic of influences. His accolades speak for themselves, with his record ‘Evolution’ surpassing 30,000 UK sales, and achieving Gold selling status in the USA for his single ‘Bluebird’, plus a string of festival appearances and album ‘Classical Soul Vol. 1’ on the horizon.
