* West Wight Arts Association

'Offers a season of eight professional chamber music concerts from September to April. The Association was formed in 1947 under the aegis of the Arts Council ... It attracts outstanding chamber music ensembles, string quartets, singers and concert pianists, many of them young professionals who have taken part in the final auditions of the Young Classical Artists Trust (YCAT) at the Wigmore Hall. WWAA provides a Bursary every two years, open to music students between the ages of 11 and 21 and living on the Island. Awards are made to help with the purchase of musical instruments, cost of lessons or travel.'
