AYM and Future Talent

Awards for Young Musicians (AYM) - “The Cheryl King Trust Award”

AYM have been running their annual Awards programme since 1998 and have given Awards to more than 1,000 exceptional young musicians, many of whom have gone on to prestigious music colleges and become professional musicians.

Musical talent is everywhere but opportunity isn’t: family finances and other obstacles too often get in the way. AYM is here to change this!

Their Awards and other programmes help talented young people from low income families to fulfil their musical potential and support others to identify and nurture talent wherever they find it.

AYM is delighted to have supported a number of students to date with the AYM Cheryl King (Hirst) Award.
