Thanks for the HCMF reports, I've only just come across them, most interesting.
Speaking of the funding discrepancy between HCMF and other events, a friend of mine from Hamburg who runs a series of contemporary music events there (the composer Michael Maierhof, whose name you probably know, and if you don't if would be worth putting that right!) told me that his annual budget from the city was equivalent to the cost of one of the windows in the Elbphilharmonie... which kind of makes me never want to go there, despite its apparently wonderful acoustics.
