Why Support La Serenissima?

Our work is unique. We work exclusively from our own performing editions & research.
Our commitment to musical discovery has unearthed extraordinary works from Ariosti to Zavateri.

Driven by Passion: we strive to give more people access to our music.
We have over 25 years’ track record in creating extraordinary culture. As a lean organisation we direct maximum resources to our mission – the music.

‘The performances by this accomplished ensemble are polished and invigorating. … a rewarding issue.’

BBC Music Magazine, Behind Closed Doors Double 5 star review (December 2021)

Why Support Now?

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic continues to be felt across the performing arts sector. As a touring ensemble, with neither a regular venue nor recurrent funding, La Serenissima has suffered a dramatic loss of earned income to support its mission.

Since the pandemic, we have had to take unprecedented steps to keep the group operational and connect to audiences.

We are reliant on the generosity of donors to help raise more than £100,000 to underpin our 2022 artistic programme.

We can only keep going with your support.

Thank you for your support
