The London Mozart Players, one of the UK's oldest chamber
orchestras, has staved off the possibility of closure after a drive
to raise urgent funds was a success. Two months after news emerged
that the chamber orchestra was on the brink, its funding appeal is
on track to reach its target of £50,000 by the end of July.
The orchestra's managing director Simon Funnell said that
individual donations to the appeal had ranged from a few pounds to
more than £5,000. The London borough of Croydon, where the ensemble
has been based for over 20 years, has agreed to continue its
support until March 2013, committing £180,000 over two years from
April 2011.
