The Nicholas Danby Trust

The Nicholas Danby Trust was founded in 1997 after the untimely death of the distinguished international organ recitalist and leading conservatoire teacher.

The Nicholas Danby Scholarship, value £6000 per annum, is awarded biennially to a postgraduate organ student of exceptional promise, enabling him / her to undertake conservatoire study outside his / her home tradition for up to two years. The scholarship is therefore open to students from music colleges in the UK for study elsewhere in Europe, and to conservatoire students from other European countries who would like the opportunity to study in the UK. The trustees aim to help scholarship holders at the beginning of their career, through securing recitals in prestigious venues and by offering sound professional advice.

The Trust also offers undergraduate bursaries, value £3000 per annum, to enable study within a conservatoire either in the UK or in continental Europe.

Scholarship and bursary auditions are due to take place in June 2010. The closing date for applications for both is 1 May 2010.
