The Davison Young Musicians Foundation was born from a passion for nurturing the next generation of musical talent. We believe that music has the power to inspire, unite, and transform lives, and our mission is to ensure that young, gifted musicians have the opportunity to flourish—no matter their background.

Through our annual awards programs, we provide financial awards mentorship, performance opportunities and connections to young artists, giving them the tools they need to reach their full potential. These awards recognize not only talent but also dedication and the drive to make music a lifelong pursuit.

Our vision is a world where young musicians can thrive, creating music that moves hearts and shapes culture. But we can’t do all of it alone. Donations enable us to fund more awards and prizes, secure world-class mentors, and expand access to music education for those who need it most. Every contribution is an investment in a brighter, more harmonious future.

Together, we can amplify young voices and let their music change the world. Will you join us?

Some of our first award winners include:

Annest Davies. Harpist. Welsh National Champion now at the Royal College of Music.

Jordan Ashman. Percussionist. BBC Young Musician of the Year 2022

Felix Kirkby. Pianist, Organist an Conductor. Oxford Festival Orchestra, and many more on our website. www.dymf.org
