Funding for Period Music Ensembles (UK)

Grants of up to £8,000 are available to support ensembles to bring live period music to communities across the UK, particularly in areas which lack access to high quality live music.

The funding is made available by the Continuo Foundation which expects to fund up to twenty professional groups of at least three period instrumentalists, focusing primarily on music repertoires from the Middle Ages up until the early 19th century.

Funding could be used for a chamber recital series, tour an existing programme to new locations, or recording of new repertoire. The Foundation is particularly keen to support more recently formed ensembles to gain visibility and performing experience.

The deadline for applications is the 6th February 2023 and the decision on the grants will be announced on the 23rd March.

Continuo Foundation expects to award grants to 20 ensembles, including up to 4 recently formed ensembles
