New videos from The Musician as Fundraiser project share musicians experiences of fundraising in four UK orchestras; The Hallé, London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, and Manchester Camerata.

The Musician as Fundraiser project, run by the Association of British Orchestras with the Musicians’ Union and Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy programme, is looking at how musicians can be part of their orchestras’ fundraising efforts.

Using workshops and research, the project is putting together best practice with the ultimate goal of creating a training manual to help musicians generate significant philanthropic income for their orchestras.
