Help us support the
next generation of musical talent
Scottish Young Musicians offers an opportunity for young musicians to push their skills to the next level, take on new challenges and achieve their ambitions. Taking part in competitions has many benefits. SYM provides an environment where young talent can flourish. Throughout the festival, our participants grow in confidence, develop their skills, make new connections and have lots of fun!
SYM is made possible through the support of its funders and donors. SYM receives no local or central government support and relies on individual donors, corporate donors and trusts and foundations for all its funding.
Your donations make a real difference to the lives of our young people across Scotland.
FUND YOUR
Local Competition
It costs only £1,000 to fund your local competition and have your name associated with benefiting young musicians in schools all over your region.
By funding your local competition, you will be supporting the next generation of musical talent to achieve their ambitions and develop their skills.
