The Aidan Woodcock Charitable Trust survives solely through the generosity of our audiences and supporters. The charity has no other source of income. Please help us to balance our books and continue to support future generations of young musicians by donating as freely as you can.
The Trust is extremely grateful to everyone who over the past nineteen years has contributed to the education of these professional musicians through the free training they have received from Maiastra.
With sincere thanks from the Trustees and musicians
Aidan Woodcock, the founder of the Aidan Woodcock Charitable Trust which organises the Maiastra courses and concerts, was a remarkable and much-loved man and the debt owed to him by many musicians is incalculable. The first Maiastra course took place in 2006 and since then almost two hundred gifted young students have had the benefit and privilege of attending these courses; many have gone on to develop successful international careers in the world of chamber music. Aidan was born on 12 March 1925 and in this concert to commemorate the centenary of his birth Maiastra alumni, including former students of the Yehudi Menuhin School, will be playing to honour his memory and in gratitude for the coaching and training they have received from the trust that bears his name - The Aidan Woodcock Charitable Trust.
