The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) is pleased to have secured from Arts Council England (ACE) an offer of funding that is in line with previous years. The Orchestra will now work with ACE to confirm a funding agreement and programme of activity that will begin in April 2023.

As a catalyst for cultural enrichment across England via regional performances and collaboration with a wide range of communities and cultural organisations, this award recognises the value for money the RPO delivers for the public purse and its direct contribution to ACE’s Let’s Create strategy.

The Orchestra is fully committed to playing its part in the ‘building back’ that lies ahead, including enriching lives and championing inclusion and diversity in the arts. The RPO looks forward to building on its existing partnerships with regional venues, schools, the NHS and local community groups to ensure that the Orchestra continues to make a meaningful difference to the cultural health of the country.
