Rotary Young Musician 2024-25

D1320 Young Musician Competition

Young Musician

Music is the international language and Great Britain and Ireland is home to some of the most talented young instrumentalists and vocalists in the world.

We celebrate this talent with a sequence of competitions that offer many young people the chance to demonstrate their musical skills whether classical or modern.

Participants will get the chance to experience performing on a public stage and receive feedback from experienced adjudicators.
