Thank you for all your kind and supportive messages. Once again, we are overwhelmed by your generosity and kindness. A reminder that Thursday's Psappha: Xenakis concert is unfortunately cancelled. Ticket holders can request refunds via Skiddle.

We’d like to thank all our supporters, partners, funders and friends – and, of course, all our extraordinary musicians, and the hundreds of brilliant composers with whom we’ve worked over the last three decades. Read our full statement → (5/5)

We’re committed to completing our current Composing For… scheme as planned, after which we will wind down the charity. This will take some time, and we will continue to be available for any questions or enquiries until we close around the end of this summer. (4/5).

Unfortunately, though we have worked hard to identify a new funding model, the loss of 100% of our regular funding from ACE has proven too great a challenge for an organisation of our size and scale to overcome, especially in such a difficult funding climate for the arts. (3/5).

The outpouring of support we received following the November announcement that Psappha would no longer receive funding through the Arts Council England (ACE) National Portfolio was overwhelming, and sustained us through what has been an extremely challenging six months. (2/5).
