“ You gain privileged access to the creative process, with the satisfaction of seeing works of art come to life that might not have existed without your help. You have the thrill of contact... with artists of rare energy and imagination... For a relatively small outlay you can have an impact.” Andrew Clark on major gift philanthropy in the arts: The Financial Times, 22nd February 2008

We are aware that you will receive requests for support from many arts organisations. So we wanted to explain why we at the Brighton Early Music Festival need your help. Essentially, it boils down to three reasons: • Firstly, even if we sell out in the biggest venues, all our concerts make a loss from ticket sales alone. • Add to that our free year round provision for young professional ensembles and an education programme which reaches 1500 local children each year. • And finish with the fact that BREMF is a small registered charity with none of the core or regular Arts Council funding that many other arts organisations are lucky enough to receive.
