The Young Musician event is a showcase for up to 8 performers chosen from that year's music festival who are aged 18 or under and are selected by the committee and music festival adjudicators.

The 2020 competition showcased the above exceptional young musicians who all played a sophisicated programme enjoyed by all. Both judges were unanimous in their decisions and highly complimentary about each performers' playing.    

Each performer was presented with a finalists' trophy, certificate and prize money and pianist Rebecca Bazlov was awarded the title of Milton Keynes Young Musician of the Year 2020.

'Cello player Harry Scott-Burt was awarded second place and third place awarded to violinist Eddie Hughes.

Congratulations to all performers for their winning performances.

The winner of this year's Milton Keynes Young Vocalist was Emma Harrington who superbly performed three songs, accompanied by Adrian Boynton, whilst the judges deliberated over each performance.
