Why?

The Alternative Canon Project is a student run initiative, and our sources of income are limited to a select number of (small) funding bodies, and ticket sales. In order to expand as we would like to, and continue bringing underrepresented music to audiences in Oxford and beyond, we need your support. Thank you in advance.

Your donation helps us with…

Scores and resources: scores, particularly of underplayed music, are expensive to buy and hire. In order to bring more diverse music to audiences, we need to be able to afford to perform it in the first place! We would also like to continue building our library of works to allow musicians an alternative and cheaper avenue to rent scores for their own performances.

Project funding: more and more musicians have wonderful ideas to help bring diverse repertoire to new audiences: sometimes ‘alternative’, non-canonic music benefits from an ‘alternative’ non-usual concert experience… We would like to have a funding pot in order to assist with our peers and colleagues with any and all aspects of event production.

Events and RETUNE: ACP home-grown events are an intrinsic part of what we do. However, aside from score hire, we need to pay for venues, piano hire and tuning, programme printing, marketing and advertising - the list goes on. We also want to be able to attract top talent to engage in our mission, giving concerts as part of RETUNE - but we need to pay artists fairly, and require funding to do this.
