Early career musicians face unprecedented challenges. Opportunities to demonstrate their artistry and secure performances are few, and most leave education unprepared for the professional world with little confidence or ability to market themselves or fundraise for their own projects & ideas, without the funds to prepare publicity materials to convince promoters, all of this amidst a hyper-competitive environment. It is no wonder many are forced to change career or sell instruments to survive.
Our acclaimed emerging artist programme has nurtured 1,600+ musicians, including Nicola Benedetti and the who’s who of the UK music industry. We provide a comprehensive package of multi-year performances, masterclasses and vital training in fundraising, marketing, how to deliver school workshops, tax and much more. We also arm our artists with films and publicity materials with which to help secure future engagements while advocating on their behalf.
