| AMCM/PL001 |  THE 18TH CENTURY CONCERT ORCHESTRA The 18th Century Concert Orchestra: the original tribute band. Since its first concerts in September 2001, the 18th Century Concert Orchestra has been delighting audiences with its pictorial view of how an 18th century concert might have looked and sounded. In historical costumes, using instruments of the era and including contemporary commentaries, the orchestra's performances are full of charm, elegance and wit. "Like viewing an eighteenth century painting with all the dirt and varnish removed - absolutely fantastic", Bath Music Critic. The orchestra is seeking sponsorship for three special projects and can offer sponsors genuine benefits for marketing and branding. • Handel's original Messiah, with sell-out audiences for the past four years - the orchestra is looking to expand its annual tour of Handel's monumental work. Presented as it might have looked and sounded during the first performances in 1742 and previously recorded for, and shown on, Channel 4, this is a truly spectacular occasion with full orchestra, choir and soloists. • Bach in Time - the orchestra;s 2007/08 concert series. The orchestra is seeking to develop its own concert series in three high profile venues in the UK. With three performances in each location (nine performances in total), and each performance recorded for podcasting, these concerts will reach an audience throughout the world. • Handeling Bach - education has always been within the core mission of the orchestra, without its having a formalised education programme. The orchestra is currently developing a 'Handeling Bach' project, which will be taken to schoolchildren throughout the UK and which ties in with many areas of the National Curriculum besides music. This project is being researched and developed currently and the orchestra is looking for a principal sponsor to help market and implement it successfully. Contact: Garry Clarke, Executive Director.

| AMCM/PL001 |  music at heene 'music at heene' is a promoter of classical music based in Worthing, West Sussex. They arrange concerts at St. Botolph's Church, Heene in Worthing and are looking for sponsors who would be interested in backing either individual concerts or events across a season. The arts positively enhance our lives and provide an enormous benefit for our country, say the organisers. Sponsoring the arts is a proven cost effective and highly visible strategic marketing tool. It is one of the most powerful ways to reinforce your corporate image allowing you to promote your company's name, logo, products or services to a wide but targeted audience, whilst strengthening your links with the community. Furthermore, many businesses use the arts not only to motivate staff and promote teamwork, but also to nurture creativity in the workplace - the key to competitive advantage in the 21st century. Don't overlook the arts as a potential partner in delivering good corporate social responsibility. In supporting community arts projects, you may at the same time be directly contributing to employment, to training and social exclusion work. Arts organisations of all sizes and disciplines across the UK are developing creative, high quality and mutually beneficial partnerships with the private sector. Sponsorship provides much needed finance to help get exciting new projects off the ground, sustain established enterprises or help arts organisations develop in new directions. Hard business skills can give an arts organisation the drive and rigour it needs to succeed in a competitive funding market. Supporting the community in which your business operates is an essential tool of contemporary commercial life. It can be a way to help the disenfranchised and the disaffected. It can enhance the quality of the environment by bringing prosperity, new energy and collective experience of diverse cultures into the community, and also into your business.

| AMCM/011 | LONDON FESTIVAL OF CHAMBER MUSIC The London Festival of Chamber Music, founded in 1995 by Luciano Iorio, takes music into the community. The music is drawn from the most well-known repertoire, but the programmes also give the opportunity of hearing some very attractive rarities. In 2002, the festival ran concerts in sixteen schools in four venues. The concerts are organised so that the audience can mix freely with the performers in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The Educational Programme of the London Festival of Chamber Music takes chamber music to schools, giving to children the gift of classical music and building tomorrow's audience.

| AMCM/012 | LONDON ORIANA CHOIR Sponsoring the London Oriana Choir is a wonderful, necessary and effective way of ensuring that the choir's unique style, broad repertoire and high standards are maintained - and could be a low cost way for a sponsor to publicise his or her company or products to an audience of several thousand adults with high disposable income. The Choir is a registered charity and therefore donations in support of it can be extremely tax efficient. The choir has achieved a number of notable artistic successes in the recent past.

| AMCM/015 | ST. BEDE'S TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS COMMUNITY The St. Bede’s Latin Mass Community organizes opportunities for choirs to sing Medieval and Renaissance Sacred Music within the authentic setting for which it was originally composed. Works by composers such as Byrd and Palestrina are sung in the context of liturgical ceremonies in the original Latin language, identical to those in which these masterpieces were first performed. St. Bede’s strives to arrange for the highest standards of musical and liturgical quality and therefore is seeking funding so as to be able to defray the significant costs associated with arranging for professional choirs with expertise in Gregorian Chant and Renaissance music. The community is committed to preserving and promoting the performance of such music in its original authentic liturgical setting. Contact: Father Andrew Southwell.

(sponsor's name).'

| AMCM/018 | YORKSHIRE BACH CHOIR Yorkshire Bach Choir (YBC) was formed in 1979 by its director, Peter Seymour, and is now one of the UK’s leading choirs. It enjoys an international reputation for its performances of Renaissance, Baroque and classical music, both unaccompanied and with the Yorkshire Baroque Soloists, and alongside the finest soloists, e.g. Emma Kirkby, James Gilchrist and Stephen Varcoe. YBC also regularly performs newly-edited and rediscovered masterpieces of earlier centuries. The choir has performed at numerous prestigious UK and European festivals. It has given frequent BBC Radio 3 broadcasts and has made a number of commercial recordings, most recently a CD of Victoria’s Psalms and Motets. But the most important part of YBC’s music making is the annual season of six concerts in the beautiful church of St Michael-le-Belfrey, situated alongside York Minster. Regular performances of the great works of the repertoire, such as Bach’s B minor Mass and Mozart’s Requiem, are given with orchestra using original instruments. And it’s for all these concerts that YBC seeks sponsorship. There are many sponsorship options available for next season, and individual requirements can easily be discussed. Some obvious benefits for sponsors are prominent mention in the choir’s promotional material, sponsor’s advertisement in each concert programme, complimentary tickets for sponsors and guests, opportunities to meet soloists, distinguished instrumentalists and conductor, press coverage and photo opportunities. The choir can also assist should sponsors wish to entertain their guests further, for example at the Dean Court Hotel or St William’s College, both in the shadow of the Minster. Registered charity no. 700412. Contact: Andrew Jackson. Address: 6 Eppleworth Road, Cottingham, East Yorkshire HU16 5YE. Tel.: 01482 840630. E-mail: andrew@adj.karoo.co.uk link to website
