Our annual donation scheme, ROSL Patrons, offers great benefits at each tier level, whilst allowing the ROSL Foundation to claim Gift Aid on support from UK taxpayers.
By supporting our artistic work you will join a community dedicated to sustaining and promoting the highest standards of young international creative talent.
Your patronage will be acknowledged on the ROSL website and all concert programmes, and we look forward to inviting you to our Gold Medal Final at Wigmore Hall and other special events throughout the year.
We have strong ambitions to increase our impact. We plan to raise £1.5 million over the next five years, to sustain our current programmes, and to grow the reach, profile, impact and standards of the young creative people we support. With your help we aim to:
Double the number of international entries to the ROSL Annual Music Competition and help fund their travel and accommodation to London to perform in the semi-final and final rounds.
We aim to professionally record all performances in the competition, for international broadcast on Classical Music channels and for future generations to enjoy.
Significantly increase our support for further concert opportunities for our prize-winners, forging new international partnerships with promoters and festivals in Commonwealth, USA and European countries. Developing our young musicians and artists is a key aim of our ongoing work and arts programme.
We are keen to increase our international outreach programmes, supporting more young musicians, artists and photographers than ever before. By widening these opportunities, we can nurture and offer mentorship to even more artistic talent globally.
