2024 City Music Foundation Artists Announced

City Music Foundation is pleased to announce the new cohort of artists joining the CMF Artist Programme as ‘2024 CMF Artists’….

Aleksandra Myslek (collaborative piano), Duo Melus (flute & piano), Edward Picton-Turbervill (collaborative piano/composer), Ensemble Augelletti (Baroque ensemble), Florian Störtz (bass-baritone), Geirþrúður Anna Guðmundsdóttir (cello), George Robarts (baritone), Gus & Eleanor (guitar & voice/double bass), Joanna Harries (mezzo-soprano), Kyan Quartet (string quartet), Nikita Lukinov (piano), Sofia Sacco (piano) and Theano Papadaki (soprano).

From an outstanding and diverse field of applicants, these artists have been selected to join CMF’s roster. They are the 11th intake on the scheme, selected through a series of audition stages, culminating in a final live audition to our expert panels of advisors. These artists were chosen due to their exceptional talent, regardless of instrument or genre, and because the CMF Team felt they would benefit best from the range of support CMF provides.

For the first time this year, the artists applied to become part of the CMF family with a specific project in mind. Their success in becoming a 2024 CMF Artist will mean they each receive financial and advisory support for their project alongside the mentoring, performance opportunities and other numerous short and long-term benefits that CMF continues to offer.

Current and previous CMF artists include Connaught Brass, soprano Anna Cavaliero, cellist Margarita Balanas, mezzo Helen Charlston, pianist Samson Tsoy, violin & piano duo Foyle-Stsura, Ligeti Quartet, mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean and jazz double-bassist Misha Mullov-Abbado.

The next concert as part of the City Livery Halls Tour will be 2024 Artist Eleanor & Gus at Bakers’ Hall on Wednesday 11th September at 1pm –tickets can be purchased here.
