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.
