The original charitable objective of the JLMT was to award funding annually to MYO players. In 2004 the MYO was incorporated into the new CBSO Youth Orchestra and since that date the JLMT Trustees offer financial support to players in the current CBSO Youth Orchestra and to those who have left the orchestra within the twelve months preceding their application.
Past recipients are to be found throughout the music profession. Many are highly successful teachers, performers and music administrators, whilst others enjoy a diversity of careers in other areas.
Pictured here is 2024 JLMT recipient Leeloo Creed who was granted an award to pay for a series of lessons with an expert teacher. Leeloo says: “I am so grateful to the JLMT for supporting my progression as a violist. This award will allow me to have expert tuition which will be invaluable for my future career.”
