Cherubim Music Trust is served by a Board of Trustees, which oversees the governance of the Trust. In addition, trustees play a crucial role in shaping the future of the Trust, ensuring it achieves its charitable objectives of supporting our young musicians of the future.

Our trustees have a broad range of professional experience, including music performance, event management, publicity, administration and finance.
