J & A Beare Cultural Trust

Nurturing the Future of Classical Music

Supporting the future of the artform we love has always been at the heart of Beare’s work. But with the rapid expansion of our non-commercial work with young artists through coaching, masterclasses and more, we realised a separate entity was necessary.

The J & A Beare Cultural Trust is our independent charity overseeing all aspects of this vital work helping young musicians from all backgrounds navigate the start of their careers. Its flagship programme is our specialist chamber music coaching initiative, which has recently expanded to a cohort of 35 talented musicians aged 14-24.

The success of the J & A Beare Cultural Trust can be seen in our public performances, culminating every two years in the Beare’s Chamber Music Festival. The Festival brings international soloists to London stages, while offering close-up opportunities for our young musicians to meet and learn from these global stars.

Our Mission

The core work of the Beare’s Cultural Trust includes:

    • Specialist chamber music coaching

    • Provision of scholarships

    • Public and private concerts

    • Masterclasses from world-leading artists

    • Help with recording production
    • Instrument support for competitions

Explore the Trust’s full programme and donate to its projects via its dedicated website. All profits from ticketed events go directly to the Trust’s work with young musicians.
