Mission

Continuo Foundation is a UK registered charity that was established in September 2020. The foundation supports period-instrument musicians and helps them to bring their music to more people in more places across the UK. Continuo has awarded £560,000 in grants to UK period-instrument ensembles, funding 122 projects and creating work opportunities for over 800 freelance musicians. Through these projects, Continuo has brought music to over 80,000 people, enhancing lives in communities all over the country. In 2023, Continuo added a new strand of activity in response to the needs identified through its grant making in 2021 and 2022. Continuo launched a digital hub for the early music community, providing a platform for musicians to promote themselves and their concerts to larger, more diverse audiences. Continuo Connect (www.continuoconnect.com) aggregates information about concerts, ensembles, and musicians in one place. The site also provides comprehensive event listings that benefit both audiences and musicians, helping to improve the sustainability of the early music ecosystem. By supporting early music performances and promoting them to wider audiences, Continuo is making a real difference to the lives of musicians and people communities across the UK. Their innovative approach to arts philanthropy is helping to enhance the future career prospects of musicians and bringing the joy of live classical music on an intimate scale to audiences everywhere.

Additional Information

The Continuo Connect digital hub provides a platform for all stakeholders in the UK HIP community to do their part in the mission to build new and larger audiences and widening access to inspiring live music. In today’s environment of aging classical music audiences and cuts to arts funding, there is a unique opportunity to work together to strengthen the financial sustainability of the early music ecosystem and to bring the joy of live music into the everyday lives of people in communities across the UK. The organisation is looking to add to its dynamic team an individual with marketing expertise to provide advice and strategic guidance for the Continuo Connect digital initiative in the larger context of Continuo Foundation's mission. The ideal candidate would have experience with interactive digital platforms. An interest in classical music would also be beneficial.
