The Â鶹ÊÓƵ awards several fellowships, which are offered competitively to experienced musicians who aspire to take their performing careers further. They provide talented artists with the means and time to refine their artistic skills and to gain experience, confidence and connections that will help them establish themselves professionally.
All of our awards allow fellows to establish new professional contacts while continuing their development with appropriate guidance.
