BBC Young Musician of the Year

The BBC Young Musician of the Year is the most established and prestigious contest for young classical performers in Britain today. In 2008, the competition celebrated its 30th anniversary with the Concerto Final, the first of two nights of competition, held at the iconic Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff. Five exceptionally talented musicians perform a concerto of their choice with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under the baton of Thierry Fischer, in front of an audience and expert judges Ben Foster, Catrin Finch, Paul Daniel, Nicola Benedetti and Richard Morrison for the coveted title of BBC Young Musician of the Year 2008.
