DYMF Recital Awards

The DYMF Recital Awards are generously supported by the Davison Young Musician Foundation.

The Davison Young Musicians Award was established in March 2021 by Tom and Peter Davison, to provide opportunity for aspiring young musicians to showcase their talent and win an award to assist them with their studies in music.

New College has collaborated with the DYMF to provide a Recital Awards to students studying at the University of Oxford. Students are selected and put forward by the Faculty of Music in collaboration with New College for awards twice a year. Students audition for the DYMF adjudicating panel for the opportunity to be selected for a recital award - a monetary award and the opportunity to perform a recital at The New Space.

On Monday 28th October, auditions for the Davison Young Musician Foundation Recital Prize will be taking place at The New Space. Prize winners will be announced at the end of the day. 

Save the date! The Recital Prize winner will be given the opportunity to perform at The New Space. This recital will take place on Wednesday 20th November.

The inaugural DYMF recital at New College took place on the 7th of June at The New Space, featuring winner Alfred Fardell (piano).

Alfred is in his final year reading music at St. Peter's College Oxford. He performs regularly as a solo pianist and chamber musician in Oxford and London, and has appeared at venues including St John's Smith Square, Winchester Cathedral and the Holywell Music Room.

He started his musical training as a chorister at Westminster Cathedral, before winning a music scholarship to study at Winchester College. He currently studies the piano with Anna Tilbrook and will take up a scholarship on the Ensemble Piano course at the Royal Academy of Music in September 2024.
