Backed with a £1m investment from the Welsh Government, Anthem, Music Fund Wales, is a pioneering endowment fund for music in Wales.   
  
Set up by the Welsh Government and Arts Council of Wales, Anthem is aimed at helping children and young people, from as young as three years old up to 25, access musical opportunities and develop their skills and talent.   
  
This is an additional source of funding established for the long\-term to enhance existing music funding in Wales. Celebrating the launch at Motorpoint Arena Cardiff, hosted by Connie Fisher, were the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Kirsty Williams, and Minister for Culture, Tourism and Sport, Lord Elis\-Thomas.   
  
The event also showcased Wales’s latest emerging talent, duo Into the Ark, Horizons / Gorwelion Launchpad awardees and 2017 finalists of The Voice, who are soon to tour the US with mentor Sir Tom Jones.   
  
Cabinet Secretary for Education, Kirsty Williams said:   

> “I want all our young people, whatever their background or ability, to enjoy music and to be able to develop their talents and skills. Anthem – Music Fund Wales, established with £1 million from the Welsh Government, is a ground\-breaking initiative that will not only increase access to musical experiences but also enhance existing music services.   
> “This will build on the music education already delivered by schools as part of the new curriculum and will allow learners access to new and exciting opportunities outside of school.”

  
Minister for Culture, Tourism and Sport Lord Elis\-Thomas AM, added:   

> “I am proud of the way the Welsh Government and Arts Council of Wales have worked together in order to make Anthem a reality but in order to build the Fund we will need to work in partnership with the music industry across the UK.   
> “That’s why I am today calling on all artists and businesses across Wales to be part of the Fund and make sure that others can discover and share in the joy of music.”

  
The fund, which values the nation’s rich musical heritage, while firmly focussing on nurturing future talent, emerged from the recommendations of a Welsh Government\-commissioned independent Music Services Task and Finish Group.     
  
Phil George, Chairman of the Arts Council of Wales, tasked by Government to deliver on Anthem’s ambition, welcomed today’s announcement, saying,   

> ''There's no doubt that the citizens of Wales want to see our young people enriching their lives through musical expression. We must all hope that private and corporate donors will seize this new opportunity to join the Welsh Government in nurturing young musical talents and helping them delight and amaze us all."

      
The £1m investment from the Welsh Government is the first stage of establishing the capital of the fund which is set to grow over the next two to three years, with a target annual pattern of grant giving of up to £300,000 per annum scheduled from 2021 onwards.   
  
The Anthem Board will be developing detailed criteria for applications, carefully considering how the funding can be used to develop opportunities for young people across Wales.    
  
To ensure availability of funding for future generations the Anthem fund will need to be built up from a variety of sources \- public, private and third sector \- investing for the long term.  
  
To turn up the volume on Anthem’s aims and to support its ambitious fundraising effort, high\- profile ambassadors are being sought representing all musical genres. Anthem Ambassadors will be supporters of the long\-term goals of the fund to make a difference for musical talent and will act as figureheads for its campaigns.   
  
Anthem Ambassadors, together with its Board Members, will be seeking supporters and partners passionate about ensuring young people throughout Wales have access to opportunities to develop their musical skills and talent to support the ambitions of the fund.

Gan gael ei chefnogi â buddsoddiad gwerth £1 filiwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru, mae Anthem, Cronfa Gerdd Cymru, yn gronfa waddol arloesol ar gyfer cerddoriaeth yng Nghymru.   
  
A hithau wedi’i sefydlu gan Lywodraeth Cymru a Chyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, nod Anthem yw helpu plant a phobl ifanc o oedran cyn ieuenged â thair blwydd oed hyd at 25 i gael at gyfleoedd cerddorol ac i ddatblygu’u sgiliau a’u doniau.   
  
Dyma ffynhonnell ychwanegol o gyllid a sefydlwyd ar gyfer y cyfnod hir i wella’r gwaith presennol o gyllido cerddoriaeth yng Nghymru.  Yn dathlu’r lansiad yn Arena Motorpoint, Caerdydd, a gyflwynwyd gan Connie Fisher, roedd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg, Kirsty Williams, a’r Gweinidog Diwylliant, Twristiaeth a Chwaraeon, yr Aglwydd Elis\-Thomas.   
  
Rhoddodd y digwyddiad hefyd le amlwg i ddoniau newydd diweddaraf Cymru, sef y ddeuawd Into the Ark, y dyfarnwyd gwobr Cronfa Lansio Horizons / Gorwelion iddynt ac a gyrhaeddodd rownd derfynol The Voice yn 2017, fydd yn mynd ar daith i’r Unol Daleithiau yn o fuan gyda’u mentor, Syr Tom Jones.   
  
Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg, Kirsty Williams: 


> “Mae arnaf eisiau i’n holl bobl ifanc, beth bynnag fo’u cefndir neu’u gallu, fwynhau cerddoriaeth a gallu datblygu’u doniau a’u sgiliau.  Mae Anthem – Cronfa Cerdd Cymru, a sefydlwyd gydag £1 filiwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru, yn fenter arloesol fydd nid yn unig yn cynyddu mynediad at brofiadau cerddorol ond fydd hefyd yn gwella gwasanaethau cerddoriaeth presennol. 
> 
> “Bydd hyn yn adeiladu ar yr addysg gerddoriaeth a ddarperir eisoes gan ysgolion fel rhan o’r cwricwlwm newydd ac fe fydd yn caniatáu i ddysgwyr gael at gyfleoedd newydd a chyffrous y tu allan i’r ysgol.”

Meddai’r Gweinidog Diwylliant, Twristiaeth a Chwaraeon, yr Arglwydd Elis\-Thomas, AC, gan ychwanegu: 


> “Rwy’n falch o’r ffordd y mae Llywodraeth Cymru a Chyngor Celfyddydau Cymru wedi cydweithio er mwyn gwneud Anthem yn realiti, ond er mwyn adeiladu’r Gronfa, fe fydd arnom angen gweithio mewn partneriaeth â’r diwydiant cerddoriaeth ledled y Deyrnas Unedig.
> 
> “Dyna pam rwyf heddiw yn galw ar bob artist a busnes ledled Cymru i fod yn rhan o’r Gronfa ac i sicrhau y gall eraill ddarganfod a rhannu yn llawenydd cerddoriaeth.”

Deilliodd y gronfa, sy’n gwerthfawrogi treftadaeth gerddorol gyfoethog y genedl ac sy’n canolbwyntio’n gryf ar feithrin doniau’r dyfodol, o argymhellion Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen ar Wasanaethau Cerdd annibynnol a gomisiynwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru.     
  
Fe wnaeth Phil George, Cadeirydd Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, ac a gafodd y gorchwyl gan y Llywodraeth o gyflawni uchelgais Anthem, groesawu cyhoeddiad heddiw, gan ddweud, 


> ''Nid oes amheuaeth nad oes ar ddinasyddion Cymru eisiau gweld ein pobl ifanc yn cyfoethogi’u bywydau drwy fynegiant cerddorol.  Mae’n rhaid inni i gyd obeithio y bydd rhoddwyr preifat a chorfforaethol yn bachu ar y cyfle newydd hwn i ymuno â Llywodraeth Cymru i feithrin doniau cerddorol ifainc ac i’w helpu i’n difyrru a’n rhyfeddu ni i gyd."

Y buddsoddiad gwerth £1filiwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru yw’r cam cyntaf o greu cyfalaf y gronfa fydd yn sicr o dyfu dros y ddwy i dair blynedd nesaf, gyda phatrwm blynyddol targed o roi grantiau o hyd at £300,000 y flwyddyn wedi’i amserlennu o 2021 ymlaen.   
  
Bydd Bwrdd Anthem yn datblygu meini prawf manwl ar gyfer ceisiadau, gan ystyried yn ofalus sut y gellir defnyddio’r cyllid i ddatblygu cyfleoedd i bobl ifanc ledled Cymru.    
  
Er mwyn sicrhau bod cyllid ar gael i genedlaethau’r dyfodol, fe fydd angen datblygu cronfa Anthem o amrywiaeth o ffynonellau – y sectorau cyhoeddus, preifat a’r trydydd sector – fydd yn buddsoddi ar gyfer y cyfnod hir.  
  
Er mwyn rhoi mwy o gyhoeddusrwydd i amcanion Anthem ac i gefnogi’i hymdrech uchelgeisiol i godi arian, fe chwilir am lysgenhadon uchel eu proffil sy’n cynrychioli pob chwaeth gerddorol.  Bydd Llysgenhadon Anthem yn cefnogi nodau hirdymor y gronfa i wneud gwahaniaeth i ddawn gerddorol ac fe fyddant yn gweithredu fel wynebau amlwg i’w hymgyrchoedd.  
  
Bydd Llysgengadon Anthem, ynghyd ag Aelodau’i Bwrdd, yn chwilio am gefnogwyr a phartneriaid sy’n angerddol dros sicrhau bod gan bobl ifanc drwy Gymru i gyd fynediad at gyfleoedd i ddatblygu’u sgiliau a’u doniau cerddorol i gynnal uchelgais y gronfa.
