Do you fancy a guitar lesson with Miloš? An exclusive painting of Pavarotti? A private Q&A with soprano Lise Davidsen? These are all among the wonderful line-up of lots to be bid for at an auction in aid of Decca's Bursary on July 6.

The money raised will help Decca in its mission to support young artists in overcoming barriers they may face in pursuing their ambitions in classical music, helping applicants with music lessons, access to instruments or necessary equipment and courses spanning niches within the genre. So far, £20,000 worth of awards have been given to schools and individuals across the UK and Ireland, as well as to more than 200 individual applications.

As well as those mentioned above, other classical artists devoting their time include pianist Benjamin Grosvenor (two tickets to his Prom, plus a backstage meet and greet), Jess Gillam (you can attend her recording session), Sheku and Braimah Kanneh-Mason (an online chat and signed LP and print), plus many more from other performers and composers.

'At Decca we can see first-hand the power of music; to inspire, to soothe, to bring people together, to communicate with passion and emotion. It is with this in mind we are so proud that via the Decca Bursary we are able to support the fundamental first steps into music in its many forms,’ says Laura Monks, Decca’s Co-Managing Director.
