Supporting outstanding talent and contribution
Some of these, such as the Award for Young Concert Artists or the Music for Alice bursary, are awarded to young musicians at the beginning of their careers. Others, such as the Groves Prizes, recognise lifelong contributions to the musical life of the UK whilst the British Composer Awards acknowledge a composer’s work within the amateur music sector.
We also partner with the Musicians Benevolent Fund and the St Martin's Chamber Music Competition to help promote a wide range of young, award winning artists to complement our discounted artist booking schemes.
Making Music does not offer any funding for students in full time education. However, there is a useful new resource called Student Cashpoint, which helps to signpost students to sources of funding.
British Composer AwardsThe Making Music category of the annual British Composer Awards is presented to a composer of a new work for a voluntary or amateur music group.
President's AwardWe recognise volunteers who have given exceptional service to Making Music. Nominations are considered each May, for presentation annually at Making Music's Annual General Meeting (AGM) in September.
