The Philip & Dorothy Green Award for Young Concert Artists
2010 award winners and recommended artists are now available  
The Award for Young Concert Artists enables young musicians at the start of their career to gain vital concert and recital experience across the UK. The scheme also allows Making Music member groups to tap into some of the very best young musical talent to programme into their concert season.

Artists listed here can be engaged by any member group of Making Music. There are a limited number of subsidised bookings - click here to download the booking form.

In 2002 the Philip and Dorothy Green Music Trust secured the future of the AYCA with the largest single donation Making Music has received in its 65 year history.

Since 1961 it has helped to launch the careers of scores of young musicians.
