Talent Development

Supporting the next generation of brilliant, empowered musicians is core to ASMF’s mission. Our projects with emerging musicians nurture autonomy, creativity and talent development worldwide.

Our work supports emerging musicians at all stages of development, from chamber music projects with secondary aged students through to side-by-side projects with emerging professionals. This work is led by our players and takes place in the UK and as part of our international residencies.
