Why Support CMF?
We care about music.
Music is part of every human
language, history and culture.
It allows communication and
understanding across all other
barriers.
It brings proven benefits, improving
brain function, co-ordination, lateral
thinking, social skills, sense of selfworth,
discipline, concentration and
well-being. Through this it benefits
society.
Availability of music is taken for
granted in this digital age. CMF
promotes live performance, offering
shared experience, inspiration
and cultural unity to audiences
everywhere.
The CMF artist programme is an
apprenticeship.
We are the only musical institution
offering one to one business
mentoring and a range of life skills
workshops tailored for musicians,
delivered over a two year period
alongside multiple performance
opportunities and the development
of personalised promotional tools.
We provide day to day support and
advice for soloists and small groups
who no longer have the safety net of
being at a conservatoire. We link our
musicians to an extensive network of
professionals in all parts of the music
industry.
This allows time, learning and
experience to help them to be able to
earn a living from live performance.
We believe in excellence.
Our musicians are among the most
talented of their generation, with many
awards and prizes already.
We support them by equipping them
with the additional skills they need
to secure their future as successful
performers and musicians. Through
this we can help to secure the future
of the highest quality live music in the
UK and beyond.
