Grants for young musicians

Following a bequest by a local businessman over 30 years ago, we established the Derby Concert Orchestra Trust Fund.

This Trust provides financial support to young musicians in Derbyshire, to help pay for lessons, exam entry fees and courses.

How to apply

We grant awards three times a year. If you wish to apply, please email Anne Allcock, Trust Fund Secretary 
or call her on 0115 972 6377. 

The deadlines for applying are:
25th January
25th May
25th September.

You can only apply once each year.

Who manages the Trust Fund?

The Trust is administered by a group of Trustees who are approved by the Derby Concert Orchestra. At the moment, the Trustees include the President of DCO as well as other members chosen by the DCO Committee.
