About the BB Trust
The Trust was established in April 2002 to help young concert artists, in as flexible and innovative ways as possible, to develop and sustain burgeoning international careers.
Working in partnership with managers, concert promoters, broadcasters, publishers and recording companies the Trust endeavours to nurture selected musicians by encouraging their musical growth and providing an extended platform of opportunities which will help them gain greater public recognition.
