Welcome to the Raphael Sommer Music Scholarship Trust!

This newly designed website commemorates the 11 years that have passed since Raphael Sommer left us so abruptly in November 2001.

The Trust organised a tribute concert ‘Remembering Raphael Sommer - Ten Years On’ at the South Bank in London on 17 October 2011. Many colleagues and past disciples took part in a varied programme of music. 
 

The main purpuse of the Trust is to organise yearly auditions held in London for young talented cellists. Find out more HERE. Applications open early next year.

Josh Salter who studied at Chethams Music School was awarded the scholarship for the academic year 2011 - 12.

The Raphael Sommer Music Scholarship Trust also organises regular events in the UK and France. Details of these can be found in the NEWS feature on the right of your screen.
