About the Philip & Dorothy Green Young Artists

The Philip and Dorothy Green Young Artists (PDGYA) award celebrates the best of the UK’s young musical talent, at the same time as providing Making Music member groups with an affordable way of booking the stars of tomorrow. Each year the award is presented to some of the UK’s most talented young musicians. The award was created in 1961 and has helped to launch the careers of dozens of young musicians including Steven Isserlis, Elizabeth Watts and Craig Ogden. It is made possible by the generosity of the Philip and Dorothy Green Music Trust, which promotes young artists and composers. All the Young Artists this year are offering digital performance options, including livestreaming.

All Making Music member groups can book these young artists, but there are a limited number of subsidies available so please check with us before booking an artist. •

Contact us to check a subsidy is available (telephone 020 7939 6030 or email info@makingmusic.org.uk)

Once this is confirmed, book the Young

Artist as you would usually book any artist. To secure the fees listed here, and make sure to tell them when booking that you found them in this guide.

Once the booking is confirmed, let us know the date of the perfomance.

After the concert, pay the artist(s) and contact us to claim the subsidy.

Any Making Music promoter members can claim the Livestreaming Subsidy - PDGYA of £150, which covers the fee for booking a PDGYA artist for a livestream. All members can book the Philip & Dorothy Green Young Artists for in-person performances for a set fee of £250 (or £500 with accompanist) and then claim a £150 subsidy towards the booking fee (or £250 if the soloist comes with an accompanist). Please be aware that if you decide to pay more, the subsidy will stay the same. You can only claim a subsidy for one Young Artist in this guide. Contact us for advice if you would like to book more than one, as sometimes exceptions apply. You will have to follow certain guidelines to acknowledge the subsidy in your promotional material and send in a copy of the signed contract to secure the subsidy.
