The Foundation for Young Musicians relies on the generosity of music lovers who want to help all young people continue their music education.
Patrons play a key role in bringing the rich experience of music to young people regardless of their family circumstance and means to pay. The Patrons’ fund is vital for building bursary support .
All Patrons will receive a termly e-newsletter about the Centre for Young Musicians (CYM) and its activities and an opportunity to meet students and staff at Morley College, the home of CYM London.
