The Arts Council in association with Music Network has announced the results of the Music Capital Scheme 2010, an initiative designed to provide support for the purchase of musical instruments. Additional funding provided by the Department of Tourism, Culture and Sport meant that a total of almost €300,000 has been awarded to twelve highly skilled individual musicians and twenty-two non-professional performing groups. The scheme elicited eighty-six applications across two funding streams with the value of funding requests totaling in excess of €857,155. In 2010, there were two categories of support under the Music Capital Scheme aimed at highly skilled performing artists and non-professional performing groups/ensembles. Funding was awarded across the not-for-profit and community music sector through Stream 1, providing community groups and music schools with financial support. Twenty-two of the sixty applicants were awarded a total of €202,013 for the purchase of musical instruments in stream one. In Stream 2, funds of €97,899 were awarded to twelve highly skilled musicians performing at professional level, to assist with the purchase of high-value instruments.
