Appeals: Youth & Music

Youth & Music, a charity started by Sir Robert Mayer in 1954, is dedicated to encouraging and developing young people's appreciation of music and the performing arts. It organises such projects as Cushion Concerts, informal musical events held in art galleries, and Stage Pass, a ticket scheme whereby 14- to 30-year-olds can buy tickets to performing arts events - concerts, drama, ballet and musicals - at reduced prices. For Stage Pass, priced pounds 14 for London and the South-East, pounds 7 for elsewhere, and Christmas cards, both of which raise money for the charity, contact:
