Lina Lalandi-Emery and the English Bach Festival Trust constitute a major force in the promotion of early opera and dance, uniquely offering exciting opportunities to numerous young artists.
However, the Festival receives no regular funding or other revenue, depending entirely on sponsorship and donations.
The company’s current repertoire is as follows:
L'Orfeo
Monteverdi - 5 star rating in Financial Times
Acis et Galatée
Jean Baptiste Lully - first staged production in our time
Dido and Aeneas
Henry Purcell
The company has performed all over Europe.
Donations:
Supporters may wish to make a one—off or occasional cash or cheque gifts to assist the work of the Trust.
Gift Aid:
Under the current tax legislation, tax payers who make cash donations via a Gift Aid declaration provide the Festival with a value-added donation, as well as reducing their own tax liability.
Gift of Shares:
It is also possible to make a gift of shares. There are generous tax reliefs for donations of shares, which can be transferred to the Trust free of Capital Gains Tax. This also offers specific tax benefits for the donor.
The company is a registered charity, nº 212118 (VAT registered no. 239263942) and is currently seeking sponsors.
