    OXFORD BACH SOLOISTS

    The CIO exists to promote, maintain, improve and advance the education of the public in the arts, culture, and heritage, and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing), the arts of orchestral, choral and other music.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

    Financial issues to consider:

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