The Imogen Cooper Music Trust offers gifted young musicians the opportunity to spend time in intensive study with the eminent concert pianist Imogen Cooper

Our Study Weeks give young artists the time and space to work with Imogen to uncover the profound depths of the music being studied

They are set in peaceful locations where the distractions of urban life are replaced by total immersion in the analysis and performance of some of the greatest music ever written

“The experiences I had of being intensively mentored by Alfred Brendel, Arthur Rubinstein and Clifford Curzon have never left me. Time seemed irrelevant, the sessions had no boundaries and the immersion in great works with those artists has resonated with me throughout my performing life. My great hope is that the Trust’s Scholarship Holders will benefit from one-to-one guidance at a critical time in their artistic development just as I did. “
