The offer of the free use of Park Lane House, 45 Park Lane, London W1 in 1956 led to the founding of the Park Lane Group Music Trust. And more: to the creation of a prominent platform, which has continued without a break, for performances by highly talented young musicians and for presenting events of special interest. Many of the Young Artists presented by the PLGMT have reached international and national status. Frequent reviews in the National Press have played an important part and one is well worth quoting from The Observer: “If I’m ever on Desert Island Discs, for my luxury item, I’ll take the PLG Young Artists Series.”
