| AMOP/PL002 | GATESHEAD YOUTH ORCHESTRA Sponsorship opportunities are available in connection with this versatile orchestra which already has a high profile both locally in the north east and nationally. Founded in 1953, Gateshead Youth Orchestra aims to give young musicians who attend school in Gateshead, or have a strong connection with the town, an opportunity to perform a wide range of music from a variety of periods and styles. Approximately fifty talented students from 11 to 19 years of age rehearse weekly under the direction of John Treherne, who has also composed original works especially for the orchestra. In addition to well known repertoire, eg this season, Mozart Piano Concerto K488, Vivaldi Guitar Concerto, Haydn Cello Concerto, Telemann Violin Concerto, the orchestra has performed lesser known works by composers such as Charles Avison. Also a performance of Rosina, an opera by local composer William Shield, last performed in the 18th century, was a memorable occasion. The overture to Rosina, which includes the melody Auld Lang Syne, caused a lively debate at the time about the origin of this celebrated tune. The orchestra was subsequently featured on BBC Television and in many major newspapers. Local venues have included Shipley Art Gallery, Council Chamber Gateshead, Northumbria Police HQ and Newcastle Civic Centre. Nationally, there was a performance at the Royal Society of Arts in February 2003, when the Gateshead Schools' Music Service was awarded the Major Award of the National Music Council of Great Britain. Dame Cleo Lane presented the award and again there was publicity in the national press. Each summer the orchestra embarks on an overseas educational visit and in recent years has toured Germany, France, Holland, the Czech Republic and Tuscany. There have been several CDs recorded both locally and on tour. These provide a valuable record of achievement for the orchestra's young musicians. As soon as the Gateshead Youth Orchestra returned from the summer 2003 tour, it travelled to London for a performance in the Royal Festival Hall. Music included "Into The Unknown" and other pieces by John Treherne. This formed the highlight of a most challenging and exciting year. Future projects include travel to, and hire of, larger venues in the local community, locally as well as nationally. The orchestra plans to undertake further overseas tours. Support for this type of activity, the purchase of new music and commission of new works is essential to enable the orchestra to consolidate its success and to ensure that young north eastern musical talent is allowed to flourish.

| AMOP/PL006 |  PEGASUS OPERA COMPANY Pegasus Opera Company is looking for one or more corporate sponsors who would be interested in a single production or long term commitment with an innovative arts organisation. Pegasus is the United Kingdom's leading professional, multi-racial, mid-scale touring opera company, founded in 1992. The company creates opportunities for young professional singers from all backgrounds to develop and perform in high quality and innovative opera productions, thus preparing them for national and international houses. Pegasus believes that it is only through the nurturing of these diverse talents that a new form of cultural harmony can be achieved. This harmony encourages talent equally, without regard to cultural heritage or ethnic background. The company also seeks to demystify opera by making it accessible to as wide an audience as possible, actively involving a cross-section of the community. This includes programming an accessible range of works and touring to a variety of medium-sized venues with the aim of reaching communities who would not normally have access to high quality opera. The company's community and education programme develops new audiences through special workshops and outreach programmes. One of Pegasus Opera's long-term goals is to gain secure financial support, enabling it to produce regular educational projects (at minimal cost to the schools involved), community projects and artistic productions. Reliable funding would allow the company to fulfil its aims to the highest standards, which in turn would ensure that the sponsoring company would feel a tangible benefit from the association, thus creating a lasting and sustainable legacy of music in the community at large. Past productions include • a gala concert production of Porgy And Bess at the Barbican in June 2005 ("the Pegasus production was a brilliant interpretation to which the audience responded with a five minute standing ovation", Live 247); • L'Elisir D'Amore (The Love Potion) UK touring production ("last night Pegasus Opera triumphed effortlessly", Huddersfield Examiner) • Mayor Ken Livingstone's Summer in the City concerts ("Pegasus stars poured out a feast of popular arias from Verdi, Puccini, Gershwin, Bizet" - the music mesmerized the audience", Camden New Journal) • Carmen UK touring production ("a spirited new Carmen, a febrile, physically exciting account", The Observer). Pegasus would be delighted to discuss specific sponsorship opportunities. Contact: Marleen Mikhail, London Programme Co-ordinator. Address: The Brix, St Matthews, Brixton Hill, London SW2 1JF.
