The EUBO Development Trust is an independent charity that aims to raise money to develop resources and areas of activity that EUBO is not able to finance with the funding it receives from the European Union or its sponsors.

In 2010 the Trust successfully raised money towards the production of EUBO's CD which features works by JP Rameau, JJ Fux and JS Bach. The recording has been released on The Gift of Music.
The Trust's further target is to fund bursaries to enable students, especially those from the 10 new EU Enlargement countries, to participate in future EUBO auditions and activities.
The first major challenge of the Development Trust, to purchase a pair of new single manual Italian harpsichords, has been achieved successfully during 2007.
TRAVEL & STUDY BURSARIES
EUBO Development Trust gave over 30 awards in 2009 to enable young musicians to enjoy the opportunities offered by the EUBO. The majority of awards were made to subsidise travel costs for students to attend the Audition Courses.
WHO GIVES TO THE TRUST? Donors to the Trust come from all sorts of backgrounds. Some are old friends or former members or employees of the Orchestra; others have heard EUBO in concert somewhere in the world or have come to know EUBO’s work through recordings. What unites them is an interest in sustaining and developing the unique tradition of baroque music, our shared European heritage. To accommodate all abilities to give, EUBO has designed a three-tier membership scheme: Chaconne, Overture and Sinfonia. You can join the Chaconne scheme for as little as GBP10 or €15 per month, while membership of the Sinfonia scheme comes with the added pleasure of knowing that you have bought one key of the Orchestra’s new harpsichords! When EUBO first started, there was no formal training opportunity for gifted young students of baroque music. Almost 25 years on, while the situation has improved, the EUBO remains unique in the opportunities it offers to young musicians. The success it has achieved since 1985 is reflected in the fact that there is now no serious professional baroque ensemble in the world that does not include at least one former EUBO member. By making a donation to the EUBO Development Trust, you can be certain that you are playing a significant role in helping us continue our vital work.
