Two funding opportunities for music have been recently announced.
- Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Youth Development Fund
The 2020 round of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Youth Development Fund is open for applications. For a third year, the fund aims to nurture the ambition and talent of young people (aged 5-26) engaged in traditional music and dance, specifically in piping, drumming, Highland dance and fiddle playing.
- Decca Records Bursary Fund
The Decca Bursary aims to inspire and encourage a new generation of classical musicians and composers. Its mission is to help children afford a classical music education, no matter their financial background. The bursary is supported by funds raised by a team from Decca Records and Universal Music UK who scaled the heights of the UK’s three highest peaks within 24 hours. Grants of a maximum £2,000 will be available to eligible individuals and ensembles, in need of funding for classical music lessons, instruments and courses throughout the UK. Individuals (of school-age), teachers on their behalf, and schools will be able to submit applications.
