Young Musician of the Year
On Wednesday 24th June the Music Department held their annual Young Musician of the Year competition in the Performance Space. This was an opportunity for students to battle it out to be crowned 'Young Musician 2025', winning the Young Musician trophy and the opportunity to perform a solo accompanied by the school Orchestra in the Christmas Concert in December.
The 19 finalists from Years 9, 10 and 11 were selected following outstanding performances in one of our Spring recitals and they did not let the standard slip in the final. The level of performance was superb, from Year 9 student Milo who opened the evening right through to Dimitri who gave the final performance.
Every student who performed did so at the highest level, with a range of styles presented. It was also fantastic to see a variety of instrument performed on from violin, cello and harp through to bass, electric guitar and drums. In the end the judges, ex-student and last years winner Archie Saunders and Mr Parsons, had to make a decision.
After much deliberation they awarded joint second to guitarist Jacob and saxophonist Izzie and then announced our 'Young Musician' for 2025.
Huge congratulations goes to Karis, who gave an incredible performance on her flute. We are looking forward to seeing her perform with the Orchestra at Christmas.

Director of Music
