Fidelio Charitable Trust
Overview
Fidelio looks to provide support for individuals (over the age of 21) or groups of exceptional ability to enable them for example:
- To receive special tuition or coaching (e.g. in the case of musicians to attend Master Classes)
- To participate in external competitions
- To be supported for a specially arranged performance
- To receive support for a special publication, musical composition or work of art
Applications need to be supported by Institutions, Colleges, Arts Festivals and other arts organisations in the United Kingdom with recognised relevant expertise. Applications from individuals or groups seeking funding for themselves or their children without such support will not be considered.
The person representing the recommending institution or organisation must vouch for the competence and skill of those for whom they are applying to Fidelio and state how they were selected. They should explain their professional relationship with the individual or group, and describe accurately the project or activity for which money is required.
Fidelio's funds are limited and no single grant will normally be greater than £5,000. The trustees, while willing to provide support, may sometimes only be able to part-fund a project or activity.
There is no Nationality restriction and the work for which money is sought may be overseas but the proposed recipient(s) must be based in the UK.
