quality of its Young Artists, chosen through exacting auditions.�� Discerning audiences attend which include
many perceptive music critics, concert promoters and festival organisers. The
concerts are recorded. The list of young artists given these first
opportunities is huge and includes many now well-known names.

fifth year, the PLG�s annual Young Composers� Symposium in the Foyer of the
Queen Eizabeth Hall, is held in close collaboration with the� eleven composition departments of the

Lane Opera�s first UK and 1st London productions include operas by
Berlioz, Britten, Delius, Mozart, Offenbach and Tchaikovsky� (go back)

Colin Davis, celebrated the Group�s 25th anniversary; all-day Summer
Organ Festivals; Wagner�s Ring Cycle on video in the Queen Elizabeth Hall;
all-day Sing with Royal Opera! at the Barbican; the Complete Mozart String
Quartets in one day; pilot tours which led to the Arts Council Contemporary
Music Network. (go back)
THE FRIENDS
OF THE PARK LANE GROUP �(more)
The Friends have a strong interest in the PLG�s work and
want these activities maintained and developed. Being a Friend of the PLG
brings good privileges. The suggested annual donation is �25 for one person and
�40 for Joint Friends. The extremely simple �Gift Aid� scheme vastly
increases
the value of each donation. (go back)
THE
FINANCIAL CHALLENGE �(more)
The
vision of the Park Lane Group is clear. As money must be raised for each PLG
event, the challenge is finding the money to make these brilliant events
happen.� With its charitable status, the
PLG is looking to the very widest sponsorship opportunities.
A
Company, by its support, can share in the PLG�s prestige and can play host to
musical evenings;
Every
single donation can help transform funding for a particular event and can be
boosted by �Gift Aid�.�
TRUSTS
and FOUNDATIONS
Trusts
and Foundations can provide direct funding for PLG projects. (go back)
PLG
events are regularly attended by a wide range of music critics from the
national newspapers, resulting in a wealth of perceptive press reviews
PLG
JAZZ ALIVE and SOPHISTICATED LADIES�
The
PLG has long included invigorating and memorable jazz events in its
seasons.� Many of the brightest jazz
instrumental and vocal talents are taking part in current and planned
performances
