The main objectives of the Trust are to promote music, to advance the education of young musicians and to develop and improve the knowledge, understanding and practice of music through the recognition and development of music in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. As part of these objectives the Trustees intend to maintain a fund to apply the income in support of young professional chamber music groups at the outset of their careers. There have been no changes to the objectives since the last annual report. The Trustees meet at least three times a year and decisions are referred to the appropriate Trustee for action. Each year the Trust holds auditions for young musicians and makes awards. Public performances are arranged for the successful groups. It also holds a Chamber Music Course on the Isle of Coll, Scotland, where musicians are coached by internationally acclaimed professors and perform at public concerts promoted by the Trust.

Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people'

Objectives: In arriving at decisions regarding the application of the Trust funds it is intended that the Trustees in exercising their discretionary powers will have regard to the objects and purposes of The John Tunnell Trust, namely the advancement of musical education by providing financial support to young chamber music groups and in particular the encouragement of British chamber music groups who have completed their formal training at Music College and have been in existence as a group for some time and who in our opinion are deserving of support in the promotion of their careers as professional musicians. It is also intended to continue the main activities of The John Tunnell Trust and of The Young Musicians Trust awards and in particular the awards scheme for young professional chamber music groups and the associated concerts with Scottish Music Clubs, together with the presentation of prestigious chamber music concerts at selected venues for sponsors, educational establishments, private individuals and for fund raising purposes and the summer school at Strathgarry.
