Young Musicians' Award for String Players 2015

Friday, 13 March 2015, 10.30pm

The National Concert Hall Young Musician Award is made biennially in support of the development of talented young musicians in Ireland.

The award was instigated following a benefit concert in 2007 by Anne-Sophie Mutter and the Trondheim Soloists Chamber Orchestra, who generously donated their fees in support of the Education & Outreach programme of the National Concert Hall.

Details

Award(s) will be made on the basis of a competitive process. The total award fund is up to €10,000 biennially and may be made to one or two young musicians at the discretion of the judging panel.
The award may be used for further study or towards an instrument upgrade.
