Springboard has been extremely lucky to have had the generous support and involvement of Melvyn Tan and Levon Chilingirian.

These two world class musicians sieved through the applicants to choose the very best young artists for Springboard. They are working closely with the Springboard team in the months leading up to the festival.

In the two days before the festival they work intensley with the chosen performers, giving advice and encouragement to polish their performances.

Finally, they are on hand for the festival day and join the extremely talented young musicians for the climax of the festival, the Evening Concert.
