Tomorrow - Strings Scholarship Fund


The Foundation we will be supporting the establishment of a new Scholarship Fund for talented strings musicians. The cost of which is £25,000 a year. Depending on the applicants the scholarship could be offered to just one or a maximum of 5 pupils a year (100% or 20% of the £25,000 in the pot). The pupils will benefit from the superb music facilities on offer in the Hony Centre and will be under the direction of Marlborough's Artistic Director, Philip Dukes, who is widely acknowledged as 'Britain's most outstanding solo viola player'.

“Any Music Department worth its salt needs many ingredients to function effectively but nothing is more important in terms of promoting high quality chamber music than a strong string section.”

Philip Dukes, Artistic Director
