MCS Young Artists Fund
The MCS Young Artists Fund ever since its formation as a local society in Marylebone, London, in 2006, aims to provide a platform for young gifted musicians. The high demand for support of musicians between the ages of 26 to 33 prompted the fund to focus on this age group and to concentrate on one artist for three years.
Every 3 years fund organises an audition leading to participation in its international instrumentalist’s competition which provides an opportunity to its first prize recipient to obtain financial assistance in covering travel costs and accommodation for the international competition, small grant and organisation of 24 annual soirée musicales, 1 orchestra subscription concert appearance and 9 recitals. From 2010 to 2013 the recipient of the fund was Sergey Sobolev (Tchaikovsky 4th prize, Laureate of Queen Elisabeth, Santandere, 2nd prize Liszt-Weimer).
The MCS Young Artists Fund has played host to many guest performers from abroad and experts such as Kevin Kenner, Henri Barda, Igor Kamenz, Sequeira Costa, Liana Isakadze to name but a few, and continues developing ties with leading contemporary musicians throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
The MCS Young Artists Fund continues the tradition of intimate 'Marylebone Soirée Musicales', through contributions and the goodwill of many attendees who share its passion for the finesse of life.
The founding patrons of the MCS Young Artists Fund are Sequiera Costa and Viktor Merdjanov.
