who we are
Welcome to the website of Future Talent, a music charity dedicated to finding, funding and nurturing exceptionally talented young musicians in the UK.
Our work is specifically aimed at young people from areas of deprivation and difficulty - the Billy Elliots of Music - who may have plenty of talent, but who lack the opportunities or guidance to fulfil their potential.
We are passionate about the role of music in the lives of young people. We believe that there are many young people of considerable or even extraordinary talent who do not have the opportunity to explore their abilities. It is the goal of Future Talent to find and encourage these young people, to provide the stepping stones which will take them ever closer to fulfilling their ambitions: to become the professional musicians of tomorrow.
Future Talent was launched in 2004 by Katharine Kent and Nicholas Robinson at the Cambridge University Concert Hall, with a performance by the Aronowitz Ensemble and the King's College Choir, conducted by Stephen Cleobury.
In the last few years, Future Talent has grown quickly, and now supports individuals, groups and schools up and down the country.
