Charitable Trusts and Foundations

ViVA is grateful to the trusts and foundations that give their support to the Orchestra and its music education and community programmes. Grants enable a huge range of valuable work to take place, for example:

• Dragon Scales, where young people were given the opportunity to develop their self-esteem and communication skills by singing in a 200-strong choir that performed to an audience of 1,700 people.
• Beanbag Proms, a series of seven informal Saturday concert days for 2- to 5-year-olds to listen to and participate in to discover the excitement and fun of live orchestral music.
• Journeys, where 60 young people took part in creative music workshops designed to enhance key skills.
• More Glass than Wall celebrated the life of Bess of Hardwick in the year of the 400th anniversary of her death. Six schools from Derby and Bolsover took part in a year-long creative writing and music project culminating in three major performances.
