THE CHAMBER ORCHESTRA OF EUROPE

The performance and recording of works of classical music.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
