25 period instrument ensembles share £100k

The Continuo Foundation has split £100,000 between 25 period performance projects in its third round of grant giving.

Supported projects will take place between April and October this year, with a focus on touring underserved areas of the country.

Continuo trustee Hannah French says about 20% of the pot went to recently formed ensembles to help make them more visible to audiences and promoters. 

The foundation has awarded more than £350,000 to 51 different groups since its inception in 2020.
