BBC Young Musician BBC Young Musician 2024. Official Facebook account. Over the years thousands of young people from all over Great Britain have entered the competition.

2012 will mark 34 years sinc BBC Young Musician introduced the UK to it's first winner, trombonist Michael Hext.Since that 1978 final BBC Young Musician has continued to shine a spotlight on the UK's wealth of exciting, young musical talent. There is no lower age limit for entering, but competitors must have achieved a Grade 8 in their instrument and be under 18 when they apply. BBC Young Musician

has become one of the highlights in the UK's musical calendar. From the outset the competition attracted the UK's outstanding young musical talent and has become a national institution. For audiences, one of the most exciting aspects of BBC Young Musician is watching these talented young performers as they progress through the competition and beyond. Many of the winners and finalists have gone on to major international careers - among them Barry Douglas, Michael Collins, Tasmin Little, Freddy Kempf and Natalie Clein. Thomas Adès, a former piano finalist, is now one of the leading composers of his generation. Recent winners such as Adrian Spillett and Guy Johnston are now emerging as recognised soloists. The 2004 winner, Nicola Benedetti, is enjoying phenomenal success, not only as a soloist, but also as a recording artist. We look forward to welcoming a new wave of outstanding young talent as competitors, all of whom no doubt have their sights firmly set on being crowned BBC Young Musician 2012. BBC Young Musician is managed and produced by BBC Cymru Wales
