Music Capital Scheme
In June 2008 The Arts Council, The Irma Trust and Music Network announced new supports for capital investment in music. The Music Capital Scheme is a pilot project that is part of a research initiative seeking to analyse the needs for support for capital investment in music as well as the optimum ways of providing this support.
In 2009, The Arts Council and Music Network are offered financial support in two distinct streams that ran concurrently:
Stream 1: Instrument Banks
Support for the purchase of instruments for non-professional groups/ensembles such as brass and silver bands, concert bands, symphonic wind ensembles, pipe bands, céilí bands, youth/amateur orchestras and ensembles, fife and drum (and other marching) bands, big bands, community music groups, percussion and samba groups, pop/rock music collectives, traditional music groups/organisations, choirs, other non-professional groups/ensembles
Stream 2: Individual Instruments
Support for the purchase of high quality musical instruments for highly skilled individual performers playing at a professional level
