  • "When it comes to identifying and nurturing hugely talented young musicians from around the world, the Young Classical Artists Trust has few (if any) equals."

    Oxford Coffee Concerts

  • "Another fabulous concert from Countess of Munster Musical Trust artists! The musicians are of such high calibre, and are all so personable, such are the hoops they obviously have to jump through to be selected."

    Boarders Music and Arts Society

  • "Cellist, Maxim Calver brought nothing but credit to your selection procedures. He is a consummate performer whose apparent shyness and diffidence charmed his audience as much as did the brilliance of his playing."

    Malcolm Cotterill, Currey Rivel Music

  • "I often work with YCAT as they nurture some incredible talents. The Castalian Quartet, Ben Baker and Daniel Lebhardt are just three of their recent artists who we have enjoyed at Vinehall. If you ever see a concert by an artist who is from YCAT you can be assured of their talent."

    Geoffrey Whitehead, Vinehall School

  • The concerts given by artists supported by the Countess of Munster Trust are an absolute festival highlight. To have this access to some of the most exciting young artists of their generation is a huge privilege...Hearing music from world class young artists...is absolutely thrilling for our audiences. Welcoming them to the festival and being part of their experiences as young artists, is profoundly satisfying. We love watching as their careers take flight."
