Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) is to receive a grant of £300,000 towards its community music programme.
The funding, to be spread over the next three years, comes from the Garfield Weston Foundation, which supports charities involved in welfare, youth, community, environment, education, health, arts, heritage and faith.
BSO Participate is the umbrella for the Orchestra’s community outreach work. Its wide range of activities across the south-west includes working with families and under 5s; in schools and with 5- to 18-year-olds; in hospitals, and care and residential homes; community orchestras and choirs; and training weekends for young music leaders. Last year, the Orchestra created over 47,000 opportunities for people of all ages to experience live music-making.
