The I Fagiolini Charitable Trust advances public education in music appreciation, rooted in the legacy of the award-winning British choral group I Fagiolini. Their values centre on artistic innovation, high-calibre performance, public engagement, and blending tradition with contemporary interpretation to deepen enjoyment of choral, early, and classical music. Their grantmaking philosophy prioritises catalytic partnerships that enable ambitious performances, educational outreach, and creative collaborations to broaden audience horizons and support musician livelihoods. They believe transformative impact arises from accessible, pioneering music experiences. The Trust focuses on grassroots artistic projects with evidence of excellence, digital outreach for wider reach, and adaptive responses that sustain musician wellbeing and cultural continuity through tradition-infused, forward-thinking vocal music programming.
What I Fagiolini Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds choral music programmes including concerts, recordings, and immersive music dramas interpreting Renaissance, Baroque, and contemporary repertoire. They support educational initiatives such as outreach workshops, audience development activities, and online platforms like interactive singing tutorials. They also fund new artistic commissions blending vocal ensembles with dance, film, or digital media, and professional development for freelance musicians through income support and sector resilience projects. They support collaborative productions promoting choral excellence, vocal training, and creative arts interventions that inspire lifelong music appreciation among general audiences, emerging singers, and professional ensembles. The Trust operates in England.
Who can apply
Registered charities and other organisations based in England may apply. The Trust supports projects that engage public audiences, emerging singers, and professional ensembles. They prioritise initiatives led by expert ensembles with international artistry, as well as those addressing the needs of freelance vocalists and audiences seeking deeper choral immersion. There is no religious restriction. Applicants should demonstrate evidence of excellence and a focus on grassroots artistic projects or digital outreach. The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications from suitable organisations.
What I Fagiolini Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund unrestricted core costs, general running expenses, or non-musical causes. Their focus is solely on music education and performance innovation, so they do not support broader arts or social services. Any projects outside the realm of choral music, vocal ensemble work, and related educational initiatives are excluded.
How they like to fund
The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications and favours catalytic partnerships. They fund specific projects and programmes rather than unrestricted core costs or general running expenses. Their grantmaking philosophy prioritises partnerships that enable ambitious performances, educational outreach, and creative collaborations to broaden audience horizons and support musician livelihoods.
