The Making Music Award for Young Concert Artists has launched the careers of dozens of young musicians since its creation in 1961. In 2002, the Philip and Dorothy Green Music Trust secured the future of AYCA with the largest single donation Making Music has ever received.
Each year, AYCA winners listed here can be engaged by any Making Music member group. Member groups can also tap into some of the very best young musicians to programme into their concert season through one of our discounted artists booking schemes.
Applications for the 2012 Awards are now closed. Auditions take place at the end of March.
Applications for the 2013 awards will open again in the autumn.
