Founded in 1984, the Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT) is a specialist charity operating in the UK that supports the early careers of emerging young classical musicians.
[1] The purpose of the trust is to identify, nurture, and promote outstanding young soloists and ensembles at the outset of their professional careers.
As an artist management service, YCAT liaises with promoters in the UK and abroad.
YCAT also presents concerts to showcase the artists it represents.
After three years of representation, YCAT aims to introduce the artists to suitable commercial management.
