WHO WE ARE | camdenmusictrust

OUR STORY

Camden Music Trust was started by a group of friends who cared about the provision of music for children in the borough. Their vision was of a charity that could help all children in Camden benefit from music as a formative experience, regardless of parents’ ability to pay. The Friends of Camden Music Service was conceived in 2001 and registered as a charity in 2008.

The Board of Trustees bring together a comprehensive range of experience and skills:

Esther Caplin (Chair), Selina Tang (Treasurer), Ian Baker (Charity Secretary),

Sarah Allen, Bavaani Nanthabalan, Martin Fraenkel, Paul Keene,

David Lindsell, Kam Perera, Dominic Tinley.
