Edward Picton-Turbervill is a pianist and composer, and Britten Pears Young Artist 2024-5, rapidly establishing himself as one of the most creative, imaginative and versatile voices of his generation.

City Music Foundation – Turning Talent into Success
CMF provides career development for selected exceptional performing musicians, mainly classical, in the early stages of their professional careers. CMF helps them with the business of music, including essential non-musical skills – building a network, getting noticed, getting performances and reviews, and more – so as to secure their future careers. From an ever-growing number of very talented applicants we select a cohort of artists each year who we believe have the potential to become the most sought after soloists and ensembles of their generation. CMF Artists benefit day to day from the experience and expertise of the CMF Team, and the extensive network of music industry professionals and established professional musicians who support us.
