CHARLIE BOAX – 2024 ROTARY YOUNG MUSICIAN NATIONAL CHAMPION
Charlie Boax of Kilmarnock is the Instrumental Winner of the Rotary Young Musician National Competition for the second year. Many congratulations, Charlie on a magnificent achievement.
Grange Academy student Charlie Boax was crowned Rotary Young Musician of the year
after winning the national finals in Manchester. The competition was particularly fierce this
year. Charlie was also the 2023 winner. Charlie was supported by Kilmarnock Rotary Club
and won the instrumental section playing the baritone horn. Accompanied by Darren
Ramsay, Charlie enchanted the audience at Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester by
performing two pieces composed by Peter Graham – ‘Turbulence, Tide & Torque
(Movement 3)’ and ‘The Holy Well’.
Speaking after the final, Charlie was asked what music performance in general, and
competition does for young people who enter… ‘it can build your confidence, you get
performance etiquette from it, stage presence… you gain so many benefits’.
Recently Charlie, her parents, John and Carrie, and Head of Music at Grange
Academy, Darren Ramsey, were the guests of the Rotary club, and entertained the
members present.
