The Purpose of Concert Artistes International
The Concert Artistes International (C.A.I.) Project operates in three different ways. First, C.A.I. accepts payments from members of the public to pay for the Education of others in the Art and Science of music. This will be available for those in Care Homes, Psychiatric Facilities, Hospitals, Nursing and Retirement Homes, Children's Homes, Homes for the Blind and the Handicapped, Detention Centres and for any other appropriate facility or organisation, also for people attending Educational Establishments. Education will be provided through the provision of Concerts, Master Classes, Group Instruction, Class Tuition and individual tuition (and to provide fundraising events for some facilities).
The second way C.A.I. will operate is to promote, maintain and advance the art of music for the education and benefit of the general public. This will be by providing concerts and musical events, by supporting the charity fundraising concert events of other registered charities, providing them with quality music groups at their charity events. These could be in the form of a quartet group, Jazz Ensemble, Rock-n-Roll group, Country Western group, Blues Band, Soul, Funk, Rhythm & Blues, Motown, a choir or full orchestra etc., as appropriate. C.A.I. will apply for local authority funding or outside funding to do this. See the C.A.I. Official Poster below.

The third way C.A.I. will operate is by holding its own charity fundraising concert events to benefit many worthy registered charities. C.A.I. may also pay, or apply any part of the Charity's income so as to further such charitable purposes or institutions as the Trustees shall at their absolute discretion decide.
C.A.I. will also raise donations through memberships from individuals, which will be held in the C.A.I. Trust fund. As the fund develops, this will be invested in such ways as to generate the greatest return possible, on as little risk as possible so that no capital funds are lost. Half of all the income from such investments can be used to employ musicians at C.A.I. charity fundraising concert events.
Monies raised at charity fundraising concert events will then be split as in the example below:
You give £50 or £500 etc. toward the cost of a charity fundraising concert event.
500 seats at £12-50 per seat plus a raffle raises £7,000 at a charity fundraising concert event.
£3,500 is divided between and donated to charities represented by C.A.I. on a per ratio basis.
£3,500 would be paid to the C.A.I. Trust fund toward the same charity/s and held for future fundraising concerts and for the inclusion of more musicians at those events.
If the concert cost £500 and only £200 was paid in sponsorship/s toward this, C.A.I. will then take the £300 difference from monies raised and apply this for the cost of the concert, then split the rest of the monies raised with the charity/s being represented.
This will enable the C.A.I. Project to help other charities, and will build more funds to invest which will generate more income for the running of C.A.I., and will thus make C.A.I. become self-perpetuating.
In the words of Ruggiero Ricci: "As a Patron of C.A.I., I request that every effort be made to provide support so this programme may be a success." Sarah Chang: "This project is an absolutely wonderful idea that deserves support."
