Young Musician’s Platform Award

Thursday, 2 October 2014, 4.00pm

The Arts Council of Northern Ireland, in collaboration with BBC Northern Ireland, offers awards for young, exceptionally talented solo musicians/singers in Classical, Jazz and Traditional Music who are ready to enter the professional world as artists. The financial award associated with this scheme will allow applicants to spend a sizeable amount of time learning from a master musician/ teacher/composer etc. abroad. The BBC will facilitate this scheme by offering two professional broadcast performances to 5 successful applicants, between the period January – December 2015.

Who can apply?

• Individual classical, jazz and traditional musicians who reside in or originate from Northern Ireland;

• Lower age limit of 18 and up to an age limit of 26 for instrumental players, and 29 for singers;

• Classical, jazz and traditional musicians who have made a meaningful contribution to artistic activities in Northern Ireland;

• Applicants must have reached a high standard of public performance as indicated within the references and as demonstrated with a solo recording of 2 contrasting works of no more than 8 minutes each

The following are not eligible:

• Applications for prolonged study at centres of further or higher education. However, applications involving short-term attendance at centres of further education will be considered if the proposed master/artist is accessible only through this route.

• Applications from previous recipients of a Young Musicians’ Platform award.

• Materials/equipment
