The Fidelio Charitable Trust welcomes applications for grants in support of the Arts in the UK, particularly for Music, including Opera, Lieder, Composition and Dance.

The Trust helps individuals and groups who would not be able to carry out a project or activity without financial support, particularly those who are at an early stage in their careers.

It aims to support individuals (over the age of 21) or groups of exceptional ability to enable them, for example:

• to receive special tuition or coaching (e.g. in the case of musicians to attend Master Classes)
• to participate in external competitions
• to be supported for a specially arranged performance
• to receive support for a special publication, musical composition or work of art.

Applications need to be supported by Institutions, Colleges, Arts Festivals or other similar arts organisations in the United Kingdom with recognised relevant expertise.

The Trust usually meets three times a year, in the spring, summer and autumn, to consider applications.

The application closing dates for 2025 are:

• 13 January 2025
• 12 May 2025
• 1 October 2025

Closing dates are subject to change so do check before submitting your application.
