APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN FOR THE SIXTH YEAR OF SIRENS FUNDING
DEADLINE: Monday 28 February 2022, 12 noon.

What is the Sirens fund?
Annual grants will be allocated according to the range and value of each project. Each year over 10 years up to £19,000 will be shared between 4 to 5 projects for concerts, tours, recordings and education work deemed to be doing most to advance and promote the understanding of music by women.

These will be selected by a panel agreed between the ABO and Diana Ambache. Orchestras are encouraged to use the Women of Note http://www.womenofnote.co.uk/repertoire.htm website as a resource, which lists orchestral music by historical women composers. The downloadable document can be accessed here: www.womenofnote.co.uk/ABO_Sirens.pdf. Please note that this is not an exclusive list and please let us know if you have works which you have discovered which you suggest should be added. Diana Ambache is also available to talk about the works, please contact the ABO for further information.
