Work with us
Lasting opportunities are often created through partnership. DYMF works with colleges, conservatoires, venues and festivals to give young musicians somewhere to perform.
Our partners have included New College, Oxford, Trinity College, Cambridge, the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest and Hartlebury Castle Trust. If you run a venue, a music department or a concert series, we’d be glad to hear from you.
