About us
Founded in 2004 by The Duchess of Kent and Nicholas Robinson, we break down barriers, create opportunities and harness the power of music to transform the lives of young musicians across the UK.
With over 4.2 million children living in poverty in the UK and thousands of children with exceptional musical abilities failed by society every year, we want to achieve an equal reality where all gifted young musicians from low-income backgrounds flourish.
Future Talent operates two programmes supporting gifted young musicians from low- income backgrounds across the UK. Our Junior Programme supports younger musicians at an earlier stage of their musical development, while our Development Programme supports more advanced musicians.
Our programmes are run by our dedicated Relationship Team, on hand to provide guidance and support to our young musicians and their families throughout and beyond their time supported by Future Talent.
Our programmes offer unique opportunities for young musicians to build confidence, develop personal skills, and enhance their musical experience.
We aim to provide every musician with a one-to-one mentoring session with a top professional musician, hand-picked based on the young musician’s musical interests and aspirations.
We also provide a range of development opportunities, both in-person and online, led by inspirational expert musicians and educators, including world class masterclasses, creative workshops and performance opportunities.
