Instrumental Awards Scheme

Deadline: TBC - September 2026

The Instrumental Awards for Chamber Music Scheme (IAS) enables outstanding student musicians to participate in high-quality chamber music at the University. It is an intercollegiate scheme open to undergraduates and graduates at all Colleges, administered by the Centre for Music Performance. 

Award holders comprise musicians from across the University, and many follow in the footsteps of their predecessors to pursue professional careers as performers.  

From piano duos to string quartets and brass quintets, IAS ensembles play together over the course of a year (and often for the whole of an award holders’ time at Cambridge), and their members are encouraged to develop long-term performing relationships together as chamber musicians.
