This evening the Foyle Future Firsts, the Orchestra's outstanding young apprentice musicians, come together to play music by three masters of the 20th century. Hand picked from amongst the most talented music college graduates in the UK, these apprentice musicians join the Orchestra for a year of mentoring, performance experience and education work, culminating in the chance to perform together as a group in concert at Southbank Centre. The Foyle Future Firsts scheme bridges the perilous gap between advanced musical training and regular paid work in the profession; a gap which often sees gifted musicians lost to non-musical careers. Since the scheme was launched in 2004, past Foyle Future Firsts have obtained both work and full-time positions with some of the UK's leading professional orchestras.
