Renewed Partnership with PRS Foundation’s Talent Development Network
The Marian Consort has secured a further year of support from the PRS Foundation’s Talent Development Network, marking a continued commitment to the creation of new music and the nurturing of the next generation of musical pioneers.
This renewal of support underscores our ongoing commitment to the creation of new music and the nurturing of the next generation of musical pioneers.
Being part of this vital network for another year provides us with the sustained confidence and resources to push the boundaries of the choral tradition. As we look ahead, we are excited to build upon the foundations laid over the past years, ensuring that vocal music remains a vibrant and evolving art form.
We are delighted to have been announced as one of 69 organisations across the UK receiving ongoing support through PRS Foundation’s Talent Development Network
Building on Success: The Evolution of Emerging Voices
The renewal of this funding comes at a particularly exciting time as our Emerging Voices programme continues to go from strength to strength. Having completed the initial cycles of this talent development initiative, we have seen firsthand the transformative impact of providing emerging UK composers with dedicated mentoring, workshops and the opportunity to write for a professional vocal ensemble.
With the continued support of the PRS Foundation, we look forward to the next cohort of composers. Our mission remains clear: to bridge the gap for early-career creators and provide them with a platform where their voices can be heard, refined and celebrated.
A Future Defined by Bold Commissions
Our wider New Music Programme remains at the heart of our artistic identity. To date, The Marian Consort has premiered over 50 works, and this renewed partnership ensures that our commissioning pipeline remains as ambitious as ever. From prestigious stages like Wigmore Hall to our award-winning recordings, we are dedicated to bringing the most exciting new music to audiences worldwide.
"This partnership is not just about funding; it is about being part of a community that values the future of the UK’s music ecosystem. It allows us to plan with ambition and to continue being a champion for the composers of today and tomorrow."
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the PRS Foundation and PPL for their enduring belief in our work. Together, we are ensuring that the choral tradition continues to inspire, challenge and grow.
