Young Musicians strike the right notes in Rotary competition

Following last year’s Dunmow Rotary Young Musician competition, Harry and Isaac, the vocal and instrumental winners respectively, advanced to the Rotary District 1240 Young Musician final. This took place on Saturday 28th February at Brentwood Cathedral.

Eleven young musicians competed in the district final, including Harry singing and Isaac playing the cello. Both performed exceptionally well and were a credit to themselves and their families. Ultimately, Harry won the vocal section and will now advance to the Rotary Young Musician cluster final on 21st March in Hitchin. This will involve young musicians from the Thames Valley through to Norfolk.

This is the second year in a row that a vocalist, put forward by Dunmow Rotary, has progressed to the a cluster final.
