Trusts and foundations that share our ambition to make orchestral music accessible to new audiences are vital to our charitable mission.

Just 6% of the OAE’s funding comes from government. Our ambitious education and outreach programmes depend on the kindness and generosity of our supporters. We will raise over £500,000 this year from Trusts and Foundations for our valuable work with schools and communities. Can you play a part?

Over 24,000 children from 20 UK counties and London boroughs benefit from our music education programmes. The OAE addresses the decline in music and arts access in state schools and local communities through long-term residencies, music and production workshops, teacher training, instrumental tuition and opportunities to enjoy, work and perform with one of the UK’s leading orchestras.
