Representing its chosen artists for a minimum of three years, YCAT's objective is to offer management and guidance in all areas of the profession at the beginning of the musicians' careers before finding suitable commercial management to broaden the artists' horizons. The list of YCAT artists since 1984 on the Alumni page speaks for itself.

Auditions are held annually and application forms are available from the YCAT office from November. In 2007, the next YCAT Public Final Auditions will be held on Friday 16 May 2008 at Wigmore Hall London.

The new YCAT artists will be promoted in Presentation Concerts in London (Purcell Room) and in Manchester (Bridgewater Hall) and will be offered opportunities to appear in the YCAT Wigmore Lunchtime Series both as soloist and in combination with other YCAT musicians.

Young Concert Artists Trust is most grateful to all those who continue to support the organisation and believe in the work it does - their generosity makes a real difference.
