Canberra Symphony Orchestra (CSO) has received a much-needed injection of $4.1 million Federal funding over the next four years.
The new funding, announced as part of the 2024-25 Budget, comes at a critical time for the CSO, given that the Orchestra’s viability was threatened by reductions in sponsorship support and ticket sales in the wake of the pandemic.
Rising program costs and a history of receiving significantly less Commonwealth funding than any other Australian state orchestra have also impacted the CSO.
