Young Artist Fund
The Young Artist Programme is a two-year immersive programme aimed at high-potential Junior level students, aged primarily between 15-18, who are already on a pathway to professional musical training at conservatoire or university level.
A two-round audition process determines acceptance to the programme, emphasising merit, suitability, and potential. Once accepted to the programme, each of our Young Artists receives:
- Focussed chamber music coaching, which nurtures self-reflection and the development of working relationships with other performers
- An increased number of solo and chamber music performance opportunities
- Masterclasses with renowned artists - all of the Young Artists will be invited to attend masterclasses as both a participant and an audience member
- Complimentary tickets for our Young Artists to attend inspiring performances by other artists throughout the year
- Guidance on programme/repertoire planning for a well-planned performance - introducing concepts in devising, developing, marketing, presenting, public speaking, and performing for different audiences
- Professional mentoring by recent graduates, professional musicians, and other successful leaders in the fields of sport and media
- Training in digital and recording media – necessary for preparing for auditions and competitions
- Teaming our Young Artists up with “study buddies” to facilitate communication and shared experiences
