Financial Support for Semitones
Semitones is generously supported by local Council grants, community grants and donations from the care homes where we play. This money allows us to buy sheet music and essential equipment and also to pay our conductors. In addition to donations from the care homes and other venues where we perform, we are grateful to our sponsors and financial supporters who help us to perform at our best:
