bursary to the Future Talent charity to support the nascent career of
one of its young musicians, Alex Wilson.
Alex is an exceptionally talented pianist from Skegness. He has won a number of prestigious awards and in 2007 he successfully auditioned for the Royal Northern College of Music Junior Department. Funding from Future Talent since the beginning of 2010 has enabled Alex to continue his studies there.
Studying at the RNCM has had an enormous impact on Alex’s musical development. Having access to some of the best teaching in the country has dramatically improved his standard of playing. He has recently won the Ian McPherson prize for the most outstanding student aged 12-14 and was also highlighted for outstanding academic achievement. He has taken part in many concerts as a soloist, as part of a duo, and also as the pianist in the RNCM Jazz Ensemble.
