LMN selects its musicians, as soloists or in groups (usually of up to 5 people), from a wide range of musical traditions and cultures. They apply to join the scheme because they want the benefits of working with a wide range of audiences and an opportunity to develop their communication skills. Musicians need to commit themselves for a minimum of 2 years and paid engagements are offered to them during their time on the scheme. Once accepted on to the scheme, they may be offered work anywhere in the UK.

Musicians are drawn from the most talented young players living in the UK. Performing as soloists or in small groups, they come from a range of musical traditions: classical western music, world music, jazz, rock and folk.

Musicians are selected through a rigorous audition process. They must combine both exceptional musical talent and an ability to communicate and establish a rapport with participants.
