The Arts Council has announced 173 applicants to their Catalyst funding, though of these only 4 are in classical music. The grants, of between £120,000 and £240,000, allow organisations to boost their fundraising capabilities. Its nice to see that some money is available in times of austerity.
The English Concert will receive £180,000 which they will start to use by refreshing their digital and printed marketing materials and employ extra staff.
Buxton Arts Festival will receive £120,000 helping it to research, reorganise and invest in a new fundraising campaign to generate additional income.
Canterbury Festival will receive £187,000 to raise money which will help it to provide an exciting new festival venue as well as developing its programme and events.
In London a collaborative application from Rich Mix and the Albany in Deptford which is being funded £240,000
