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 to consider applications.

The provisional closing dates for receipt of applications in 2024 are 12 midday on:

• Thursday 1 February 2024
• Thursday 16 May 2024
• Thursday 19 September 2024

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