hcmf// successful in bid for Arts Council funding
Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival is delighted to announce news received this morning from Arts Council England that it will be part of the National Portfolio of organisations and will continue to be funded up to 2015.
The amount of funding represents a significant up-lift on the Festival’s current level of core funding and is welcomed by the hcmf// team as a huge vote of confidence in the local, national and international programme of work presented in Huddersfield each year.
hcmf// would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the team who have worked to put the bid together and Arts Council England for enabling us to continue to create and present the most exciting new music from Britain, Europe and beyond in Huddersfield – especially in the current climate of cuts and uncertainty.
It’s also fitting for us to thank our other funders and partners whose support is vital to making hcmf// a reality, including: Kirklees Council, the University of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire Grants, the British Council, the PRSF Foundation and Welcome to Yorkshire.
Artistic Director, Graham McKenzie says: “This is fantastic news for hcmf// this morning – and a great testament to the hard work and commitment of the hcmf// team, our Board and our partners. We now hope to hear that our many partner organisations in the UK will be similarly successful.”

After hearing that AXIS, a bigger waste of money I know not, was successful for the gRaNT ROUND I feared the worst, so was delighted to get the news. HCMF has ticked all the right boxes and done it with style it deserves all and more.
