Our Programmes

Future Talent operates two programmes supporting gifted young musicians from low-income backgrounds across the UK, providing unique opportunities to build confidence, develop personal skills, and enhance their musical experience.
 
Our Junior Programme supports younger musicians at an earlier stage of their musical development, while our Development Programmes supports more advanced musicians.

Both programmes provide a range of development opportunities led by  expert musicians and educators, including world class masterclasses, workshops, mentoring sessions and performance opportunities.
 
Alongside these opportunities, we also provide our young musicians with financial support towards their musical costs, which could include:
·     Tuition fees
·     Ensemble & course fees
·     Exam and audition fees
·     Instrument costs including purchase, hire, insurance, parts and repair
·     Music technology and other equipment
·     Sheet music
 
Award amounts and durations vary. See below for our different awards.
