Each performer is chosen by their head of department from 2015 graduates and current students. This year’s competitors are alumni Becky Brass (percussion), Ruben Fox (jazz saxophone), Emma Lewis (mezzo-soprano), Stefan Melovski (guitar), Naufal Mukumi (piano) and student Harry Palmer (composition).

The diverse programme will includes music by Harry Palmer, Manuel Marie Ponce, Dusan Bogdanovic, Mozart, Messiaen, Wagner, Scriabin, Balakirev, Gary Burton/Makoto Ozone and Riad Al Sunbati.

2014 winner Elliot Galvin (jazz pianist) was crowned European Young Jazz Musician of The Year, while last year’s winner Nardus Williams (soprano) is already forging a successful career as a Samling Scholar and Park Lane Group Young Artist.
