Founded in 2004 by The Duchess of Kent and Nicholas Robinson, Future Talent supports gifted young musicians from low-income backgrounds with financial and personal guidance to enable them to flourish on their musical journey.
It is estimated that as a result of deprivation over 1,000 children with exceptional musical abilities are lost from our society every year. We provide a bridge through our Young Musicians Development Programme, offering unique opportunities for young musicians to build confidence, develop personal skills, and enhance musical experience.

Our Vision

“For thirteen years I taught music in a primary school in East Hull. I taught children with exceptional talent but I could not find any natural pathways for them to develop that talent. I saw the power of music in every aspect of their lives and as an extraordinary stimulant for growth.
‍
Our vision has been to support talented young musicians from every corner of the country and in every genre of music. The benefits for these children are inestimable. We hope to break barriers down, enhance opportunities and make a career in music an equal reality for all, as well as to capture the power of music as a force for change that can improve young people’s lives.”
