Awards and Fellowships Explained

Artists are given either a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award or a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship.

BBT Awards are given to artists or ensembles who the Artistic Committee perceive as being performers of great quality and musicianship. Their careers are usually quite well established and the Trust hopes their BBT budget will assist them in developing their long-term careers.

BBT Fellowships are usually awarded to artists or ensembles who are at the earlier stages of their career and the Trust hopes their BBT budget will help them to develop their future potential.

Award winners receive budgets of £20,000 and Fellowship winners £10,000. Quartets receive £30,000 for an Award, or £15,000 for a Fellowship.
