  1. Audition

Audition

Each year, we hold rigorous auditions to identify young artists with exceptional potential. Applications for 2020 will open on Monday 3 February. 

If selected to be a YCAT artist, you will receive:

Management - 3-5 years of general management

Exposure - Regular marketing to 5,000+ promoters and concert halls world wide

Branding - High Quality publicity materials and professional photo shoots

Performance - Manage and Secure a strategic diary of engagements worldwide, including a debut performance at Wigmore Hall 

Media - Live recordings of recitals for use

Audition performances are measured against a standard of excellence and not against each other.

The juries look not only for exceptional musical talent, but also for artistic individuality and projection as a performer. No set number of artists are selected in any one year.
