Details

In 2023 and 2024 the Trustees decided to focus the Foundation’s activity exclusively on the funding of performances and recording of music by Michael Tippett, with the aim of generating greater revenue for a wider range of activities in future years. This remains the case in 2025.

For 2025 they are looking to support the performance or recording anywhere in the world of music composed by Tippett. The Trustees will consider applications pertaining to any of his compositions but are likely to prioritise plans for specific works that are less frequently performed or projects which are unlikely to be mounted without additional financial support. Projects which involve young people, or which have a participatory element will be looked at with particular interest.

Grants awarded will be made towards creative musical activity, not instruments or equipment. Projects might be first-time initiatives or the development of existing projects and must be based in the UK.
