I came across the Future Talent web site today, which is a charity founded by the Duchess of Kent. I don't remember seeing it mentioned on the forum before so in case there's anybody else who doesn't know about it, this is extracted from their web site:


The primary aim of Future Talent is to find, fund and nurture musically gifted individuals aged between 5 and 18 who do not have the means or the opportunity to advance their musicianship. From provision of an instrument to the funding of private tuition or a special course, we are committed to providing the natural stepping stones to help talented young musicians aim high. In pursuance of this aim, Future Talent gives many others the chance to grow through music. We also help to guide parents and teachers where necessary, to ensure a network of support for these talented youngsters.

Further info on their web site if anybody's interested.

You'll find my daughter Daisy on their website along with Tess's daughter Danielle and a 3rd Ellie all of whom are supported in one way or another by Future Talent. These three girls are all at Lincoln Minster School on Music Scholarships, the school is fast becoming a centre of excellence and with the building of a new state of the art music school and offering personalised learning for its musicians it is going from strength to strength.

Future Talent are a fantastic group of people who are very supportive in all that their children do.

It sounds very exciting - I hope Daisy enjoys her trip party1.gif

Will you be at the Ryedale Festival?

Pudding - that sounds fantastic. Kudos to Lincoln Minster! Would that there were more like it.

I heard the Lincoln cathedral choristers on radio 3 last Wednesday - thought they sounded great.

Daisy has been so lucky to have the support of both Future Talent and Lincoln Minster School. The Choristers are world class and a real joy. Wednesdays recording is still on Radio 3's listen again list.
