About the Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme
The Â鶹ÊÓƵAV Radio 3 New Generation Artists Scheme helps to support young musicians on the threshold of an international career to reach the next stage of their development. It brings some of the world’s most promising new talent to listeners across the UK through Â鶹ÊÓƵAV Radio 3 broadcasts.
The stars of tomorrow
As part of the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV's commitment to developing and nurturing young talent, Â鶹ÊÓƵAV Radio 3 launched its New Generation Artists scheme in the autumn of 1999. Now well into its second decade, the scheme has acquired the reputation of being a world leader for young artists.
Every Autumn, six or seven artists or groups who are on the threshold of an international career are invited to join the scheme, which offers them unique opportunities to develop their talents. These include concerts in London and around the UK, appearances and recordings with the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV performing groups, studio recordings for Radio 3 and, last but not least, the possibility of appearing at the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV Proms.
The New Generation Artists come from a wide field and provide a representative cross-section of the most exciting British and international young artists. They are truly the stars of tomorrow.
