Preliminary Round Result

Eleven contestants provided a delightful day’s music-making on Monday. The Judges praised all for the high-standard of the performances. One of the purposes of the day, of course, was to choose four finalists, though that, at the time, seemed secondary to the pleasure that all the day’s contestants gave to an audience deprived of live music for so long.

Andrew Woodmass-Calvert (tenor) won the Best Newcomer’s Award of £100. Thomas Mawson (guitar), Matthew Warwick (trombone), Fiona Duxbury (voice), Alistair Burton (piano), Tania Pencu (piano), Charlotte Thomson (voice) each received £50.

This year’s finalists are: (L to R): Bertram Nicholson (viola) from Lanercost, Susie Duxbury (soprano) from Arkholme, Jessica Harper (soprano) from High Hesket, Sam Weakley (bass) from High Brigham. We will look forward to hearing them all again on 27th August.
