ORPHEUS SINFONIA FOUNDATION

Orpheus Sinfonia is dedicated to helping talented young musicians develop their professional careers. We are formed of recent music conservatoire graduates and provide the experience and support necessary to help them progress in to the profession. We provide performance opportunities, a challenging repertoire and offer experience of working alongside established members of the profession.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
