Charities Future Talent and teamArchie have teamed up to offer two annual awards of £2,000 to cover music-related expenses, alongside a tailored development programme, to young brass players from low-income backgrounds.

Applications for the two inaugural awards, for players aged 1618, are open until 17 April. Successful applicants will participate in workshops, masterclasses, performance/recording opportunities, and have one-to-one mentoring with trumpeter Matilda Lloyd, who is an ambassador for teamArchie.

Clare Cook, chief executive of Future Talent, said: ‘The Future Talent team is honoured to work alongside teamArchie to create meaningful opportunities for talented young brass players. Through this new award, we aim to showcase the transformative power of music education and the lifelong benefits it brings. We invite passionate young brass players to seize this opportunity and apply for the teamArchie Future Talent Award for Brass, marking the beginning of a journey that could shape their musical future.’
