“This inflatable structure will effectively give us our own venue for the first time and will enable us to take our work out of the concert hall and into the heart of communities – particularly rural areas who do not have performance venues.”
— Peter Helps, Chief Executive at Sinfonia Viva

In addition, Bondholder QUAD has been awarded £119,962 to boost its digital DNA and to increase accessibility for audiences.
