“Five-star reviews are flowing Arcangelo’s way. It’s easy to see why... the quality of this zestful ensemble just keeps soaring.” - Bachtrack Inviting your support for our next 10 years can’t believe that it’s ten years already since Arcangelo began! So many of the collaborations are still so fresh: Guadagni and Bach with Iestyn Davies, enchanted forests and dramatic scenes with Anna Prohaska and Christiane IKarg, Mozart violin concertos with Vilde Frang, C.P.E. Bach cello concertos with Nicolas Altstaedt, Bach family Magnificats with choir and orchestra, three game-changing concerts as Wigmore Hall’s first-ever Baroque Ensemble in Residence (among many at this wonderful venue), two US tours with their unforgettable Carnegie Hall appearances, and of course those amazing BBC Proms concerts at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and most recently at a sold-out Royal Albert Hall. How have we done it? On stage, with the marvellous artistry of all the talented musicians we’ve been privileged to work with. Backstage, with the vision of good promoters and the dedicated planning and support of the Arcangelo office team. And all around us, with the generous financial support of individuals who have believed in us and wanted to help us make it happen. Without that support, we could never hire the staff to sell the projects, create the schedules, book the venues, book the flights and hotels, buy the music, buy the insurance, hire the keyboards: everything that gets us to 7.30pm on concert night or take one in the recording studio. I list all these links in the chain because although they are often described in business terms as core costs, everything at Arcangelo ultimately converts into music and music-making. Over the last 18 months we have been laying foundations and building a plan for Arcangelo’s second decade. It’s very ambitious and wide-ranging, and includes wonderful new artistic projects, new ways of sharing our music, new partnerships, and new support for emerging talent. Thinking big has always been the Arcangelo way, and has never led us to IMAGE: MARCO BORGGREVE anything but success: two Gramophone Awards, a BBC Music Magazine Award, a Grammy Award nomination, countless broadcasts on the BBC, Classic FM and US, Asian and European media, and invitations to the world’s great venues and festivals: Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, Barbican Centre, Auditori Barcelona, the Salzburger Festspiele, the BBC Proms and the Vienna Konzerthaus to name just a few. The Arcangelo Anniversary Fund is a key part of our strategy to support our plans and ambitions on a longer-term footing. All donations to the fund will go towards those vital core costs, with every gift ultimately translating into more outstanding concerts and recordings, more opportunities for the world’s best musicians to shine, and more opportunities for appreciation by new generations of audiences. Every supporter is individual, so we have added new ways to give online, clearer standing order and multi-year donation options, and new tiers to our popular Arcangelo Friends Scheme which recognises our supporters’ About the fund 4 generosity and offers enjoyable benefits.
