INFORMATION
What is the Selected Artists Guide? Welcome to the 2018 edition of the Selected Artists guide. Whether you are a promoter looking for artists or a performing group looking for soloists, this guide will help you find excellent, affordable musicians and ensembles. It’s not just a list of great artists; there are subsidies available for every artist or ensemble listed. The guide is split into three sections: 1. The Philip & Dorothy Green Young Artists (orange pages 4-12) have been auditioned and chosen by a distinguished panel of experienced musicians. Subsidy: £150 subsidy for booking a solo artist and £250 with an accompanist 2. The St Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music competition winners (red pages 15): Subsidy: available at a fixed fee of £250 per performer for the first 12 engagements. 3. Our Selected Artists (purple pages 16-18) are recommended by the Selected Artists Panel (formed of Making Music promoter members).

Subsidies: small promoters (income under £14,500) can claim two subsidies: • Selected Artist Subsidy: £100 towards the booking fee for any Selected Artist featured. • Artists Expenses Subsidy: £50 to £125 towards the expenses of the artist. Did you know? The Artists Expenses Subsidy can be claimed when booking any professional artist, not just the ones in this guide.
