J & A Beare Cultural Trust
Nurturing the future of classical music
Our mission
Our work supports artists from all backgrounds in building a career in classical music. We focus on talented young musicians who can benefit from support at the outset of their career journey.
The core work of the Beare’s Cultural Trust includes:
- Specialist chamber music coaching
- Provision of scholarships
- Public and private concerts
- Masterclasses from world-leading artists
- Help with recording production
- Instrument support for competitions
Current projects
An inaugural cohort of 35 young musicians currently enjoy access to specialist chamber music coaching through the J & A Beare Cultural Trust. Supported by leading London-based tutors, the ensembles have access to regular public performance opportunities. With the official launch of the Trust, their number is quickly growing, as the scope of the charity’s work expands to its full potential.
