Recognising Talent
and passion For Music
Our Purpose
Musical talent can emerge anywhere, but the opportunities available to develop that talent are not always equal.
The cost of tuition, instruments, travel, accompanists, auditions and advanced musical study can place considerable demands upon young musicians and their families.
DYMF was established to make a practical contribution.
We identify promising musicians and provide awards, performance opportunities and recognition intended to support their continuing musical development.
Wherever possible, we also create opportunities for musicians to perform before new audiences and to establish connections that may contribute to the next stage of their musical lives.

Supporting exceptional young musicians
Recognising talent. Creating opportunity. Encouraging the next generation.
The Davison Young Musicians Foundation exists to recognise, encourage and support talented young musicians as they develop their musical education and performance careers.
Through awards, competitions, recitals and partnerships with respected musical institutions, DYMF creates opportunities for emerging musicians to perform, develop their artistry and receive recognition for their achievements.
Our approach is deliberately personal. We believe that identifying talent is only the beginning. Young musicians also need opportunities to be heard, encouragement at important stages of their development and the confidence that comes from having their work recognised.
