Why Support Orchestra Unwrapped?
Leicester City is ranked as the 20th most deprived local authority in the country, some areas within the City falling within the most deprived 5% in England. Many children in Leicester simply do not have the chance to hear live music, enjoy local arts and cultural activities, or participate in music education, either at school or at home, and this is an area in need of improvement. Orchestra Unwrapped will fulfil this need.
The Philharmonia Orchestra is a registered charity and its De Montfort Hall residency is supported via Arts Council England funds and Leicester City Council. BUT Orchestra Unwrapped is reliant on private investment and receives no government subsidy. In order for us to deliver the project over the next four years further funding is required.
How to Support Orchestra Unwrapped
The Philharmonia Orchestra has set up a fund that will allow people to contribute to the project. So far supporters include: Ernest Cook Trust, Mr Graham Edwards, The Maud Elkington Charitable Trust, Pick Everard, The Golsoncott Foundation, The Monument Trust, The Prince of Wales's Charitable Foundation, Rotary Club of Leicester Novus, S.F.I.A Education Trust Limited, and many donors who have supported the project online, through the post and by text.
To meet our target we need to secure further funding. To play your part:
