Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (RBC) has received almost £370,000 in grants to help aspiring young musicians in the West Midlands receive tuition.
The award will support members of the RBC Junior Conservatoire over the next three years.
The grant has been awarded by two independent charities: nearly £250,000 from the Leverhulme Trust, which funds research and scholarship and also supports of scholars in their educational endeavour; and £120,000 from the Wolfson Foundation, which aims to support civil society by investing in excellent projects in science, health, heritage, humanities and the arts.
RBC Principal Stephen Maddock said: ‘The generosity of the Leverhulme Trust and Wolfson Foundation is going to have a profound impact on the lives of so many young musicians in the West Midlands. We share the belief and commitment that opportunities for musical education should be available to all young people, regardless of financial means. I’m excited to see the progress our Junior players can make over the next three years.’
