Jerwood Foundation supports Oxford International Song Festival's Young Artist Programme

Jerwood Foundation has awarded a grant of £30,000 over two years to support Oxford International Song Festival's Young Artist Programme. This support will enable Oxford Song to further develop their programme from Spring 2024. The Young Artist Programme offers a range of high-quality training and performance opportunities for duos in the early stages of their careers. In 2024 the Programme includes a fully-funded place on the residential Mastercourse; an emerging artist slot; and other performance opportunities.

Oxford International Song Festival is immensely grateful for the support of Jerwood Foundation as our Young Artist Programme Principal Supporter. Our Young Artist Programme is a vital and beneficial initiative for singer/pianist duos in the early stages of their careers. With Jerwood Foundation's major support, we can deliver, develop and further strengthen this opportunity for the benefit of 32 young artists over the next four years. - Sholto Kynoch, Artistic Director, Oxford International Song Festival
