The initiative sees leading soloists and conductors support younger colleagues by bringing them onto the main stage during professional engagements.

In the four months since its inception, it has received support from the likes of Sir Antonio Pappano, Sir Simon Rattle, Roderick Williams, Sir Bryn Terfel, the London Symphony Orchestra, Britten Pears Arts and Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
