The Hattori Foundation for Music and the Arts
The Hattori Foundation is a UK registered charitable trust offering awards to exceptionally talented young instrumental soloists or chamber ensembles whose talent and achievements give promise of an international career.
Senior Awards (21-27 year olds) are awarded on an annual basis with auditions normally taking place in June.
Junior Awards (15-20 year olds) are available on an ongoing basis (they can be applied for at any time).
Each year as part of the Senior Awards auditions process the Trustees of the Hattori Foundation consider whether there is a performer ready to benefit from the challenge and professional exposure of a performance with a leading orchestra and if so we seek to create an opportunity for that performance to happen.
We also curate a series of Early Evening Concerts from our home at the intimate 1901 Arts Club on London's south bank featuring current award winners alongside our esteemed alumni.
