Second payment

The company was awarded £50,000 in the second round payments earlier in the year with a second award of £50,000 now to be made.

As reported on 4BR the final series of payments also included an additional payment of £127,000 to Brass Bands England.

Other music organisations who have also received substantial funding help, include the Brighton Early Music Music Festival (£64,000); The Three Choirs Festival Association (£133,000); The Stoller Hall (£75,000); London Symphony Orchestra (£423,000) and English National Ballet (£1,103,000).

Individual awards ranged from £11,000 to just under £1.3million. The largest award made to an organisation in the 'Music' discipline/artform was for £787,000.

As reported on 4BR to date, over 5000 organisations and sites have gained Culture Recovery Fund awards amounting to over £840 million.
