Chamber Orchestra of Europe

Violinists in Chamber Orchestra of Europe

We fund the acclaimed orchestra, which brings together almost 60 musicians from Europe and performs across the continent. Its education and outreach programme also helps young people and new audiences experience live orchestra and chamber music.

Columbia University Arts Initiative

We support the Initiative, which helps all students engage in the arts - regardless of which academic subjects they are studying - through its dedicated arts website and other activities, including grants for non-curricular projects.

Henry Moore Exhibitions

We are supporting Tate Britain to create a permanent exhibition space for Henry Moore’s work. A series of changing displays will present Moore’s sculptures and other works in a variety of contexts, drawing on Tate’s collection, new acquisitions and loans.

    Royal Shakespeare Theatre

    We are committed to ensuring William Shakespeare’s works remain at the heart of British cultural life.  We contributed to the £113 million redevelopment of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon to improve audiences’ experiences. The theatre is the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company, and we also support the company’s Artist Development Programme, which builds cast and crew skills through training and extra rehearsal time.
