Awards

At From the Top, we believe that financial need should never hold a young musician back.

  • The Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award

    Since 2005, From the Top and the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation have awarded more than $4 million in awards to exceptional young musicians with financial need.

  • Tim Banker Talent Development Award

    The Tim Banker Talent Development Award supports the development of young talent by connecting them with music education and mentorship opportunities.

    In honor of longtime staff member Tim Banker, a $200,000 fund was established in 2022 and will serve two to four young musicians annually over the next ten years.
