La Serenissima receives welcome financial support from foundations, trusts and public funding.

Artistic grants allow us to continue our original research and work with outstanding artists to share our music through concerts, tours and recordings.

Core funding enables the ensemble to fulfil its potential; it makes possible dedicated work on strategy, development, developing audiences, outreach and other vital strands. It provides support that results in a sustainable organisation which can benefit the widest possible audience.

For more information on supporting our artistic and core costs please contact us.

In the past corporate sponsorships have helped us significantly. Now the Ensemble seeks an imaginative sponsor for high-profile London residency!

Following the success of the residency The Grand Tour at St John’s Smith Square in 2016/17 Season, La Serenissima has been invited to play a significant part of the Wigmore Hall’s early music programming in 2019 – 2021. To discuss this opportunity please contact our General Manager

The ensemble is planning three recording projects to coincide with the group’s 25th Anniversary celebrations: Vivaldi Doubles, The Godfather & Vivaldi’s Women.

The three projects will highlight different qualities of the ensemble’s output. Vivaldi Doubles showcases raucous and mesmerising music for pairs of oboes and horns, as well as works for violin and cello. The Godfather brings together a vibrant multi-composer programme featuring wind and brass instrumental colour, exploring links between composers including JS Bach, Fasch, Pisendel, Telemann and Vivaldi. Finally, the group will present sublime vocal music in Vivaldi’s Women; a programme that will feature a newly-commissioned Italian viola d’amore and chalumeau, as well as La Serenissima’s own exotic violin in tromba marina.

Recording makes it possible to share our work with the greatest number of people; via CDs, downloads, radio broadcasting and streaming channels, our performances can reach in excess of 8 million people in the UK alone.

We rely on the generosity of individuals to make every record. Support the making of these discs and help create our 25th Anniversary legacy.
