By working intensively with the players, composers are able to experiment with new techniques and sound-worlds, working in detail on technical aspects of composition with individual players. The Foyle Future Firsts are the Orchestra's outstanding young apprentice musicians, handpicked from the most talented music college graduates. The musicians spend a year being mentored by London Philharmonic Orchestra players through performance experience and education work. The Foyle Future Firsts programme bridges the gap between advanced musical training and the professional world. The Foyle Future Firsts programme is generously funded by The Foyle Foundation with additional support from the Musicians Benevolent Fund and The Fenton Arts Trust.
